Hey this is pretty neat! I definitely would try using this for benchmarks and other places where I need strong isolation as Docker is just too bloated and slow, but sadly I don't think I can run this natively on my Windows laptop. I hope you extend to WSL! Good luck and congrats on launch.

If you're using wsl2, /dev/kvm should be available. You may need to install a couple extra packages to enable kvm etc.
