Anyone know if there is a way to launch custom qcow2 images with this on macOS? last time I tried this it only worked on Linux.
However, your question is actually whether on MacOS you can have nested virtualization. Because, if MacOS (and Multipass support) it, then this is what you need.
It absolutely does on linux (which uses the qemu driver). <url> is a custom image URL that is in http://, https://, or file:// format.
As long as the image is a "cloud" image with cloud-init installed it works fine. I tested this with a fedora image on linux.

This was not my question, but I don't believe nested virt is supported on macOS with multipass. Someone correct me if i'm wrong but I think nested virt is only available via VMware Fusion on macOS, multipass uses hypervisor.framework via hyperkit
Indeed, you can launch many more images than those you get when you run "multipass find".
There is a post about this at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/new-way-to-launch-images-othe...
qcow2/img launching indeed works fine on linux
edit: there is a pending issue https://github.com/canonical/multipass/issues/307
