Oh, there are other ways. multipass is one, uvtool is another.

I ended up using uvtool + libvirt on the pi4. I briefly tried
multipass, and while it would also work it seems, I would heve to
configure it to store the images elsewhere. This is a raspberry pi4
after all: the sd card is not really a good storage place. The
multipass snap only allows /mnt (removable media) and /home for
storage, which didn't really fit my usage scenario.
