   A useful source of Arm VM images is the UTM hypervisor for Apple Silicon Macs:   
      
   https://mac.getutm.app/gallery/   
      
   The bundles contain a disc image that will run via QEMU or virt-manager - it   
   uses   
   Apple's hypervisor kit on Macs, while on Linux you can use KVM.   
   That way they are already set up to boot in QEMU.   
      
   If you have a Mac, importing the VM into UTM will also tell you the flags it   
   runs QEMU with, which could be handy for setting up video etc.  The details   
   are in the .plist file which would need transcribing to QEMU flags if you   
   don't have a Mac.   
      
   (QEMU will also run the non-ARM64 images, just you have to run them via   
   qemu-system-x86_64 or whatever, and they'll be emulated and slower)
