Quick and dirty way t test the last built of GNOME OS
# More info here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/wikis/home
# I changed some minor options to have it working out the box.
# Be aware that the compressed image that you need to download is 1 Gb large.
# And, once it gets decompressed, it is 17 Gb large.
# Download the last GNOME OS image:
wget https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-build-meta/-/jobs/artifacts/master/raw/image/disk.img.xz?job=vm-image-x86_64
# Decompress it:
unxz disk.img.xz
# Run the VM
qemu-system-x86_64 \
