I used nspawn to get a system running in the most ridiculous way.

A debian aarch64 vm on kvm starting a systemd-nspawn for an unpacked raspberry pi 3 iso.

It works way too well judging by how ridiculous it was.

Still saved me a few days instead of setting things up myself.

I actually liked how easy it is to spin up nspawn as a systemd service
