Incus is roughly a frontend for qemu, so you can launch an empty VM and use the ISO to install the OS. You don't have to use a preconfigured base image.

I think incus can be a frontend for qemu, but it's primary mode of operating is to run containers. It's a fork of LXD.

		VM support has been there for quite a while now and works nicely. I think that's what they're referring to. It started out with only system containers and then gained support for VMs and now there's work to support launching OCI images directly.
