not sure if I understand your need right, but if I need a throw-away linux i use a lxd container. they are more like real linux vm‘s.

Trying first steps with qemu. Really quite cumbersome compared to docker/podman where I can just name an os and version and the rest magically happens like so: `podman run -it --rm --volume=$PWD:/bla/ --workdir /bla/ docker.io/ubuntu:20.04 bash`

I see lxd looks more like podman than qemu. Interesting.
