Issue (#1165)

Using qemu-full resolves the issue mentioned in the link above on my machine. I don't know the implications of choosing this library over the base, only that there are added features and a gui.

I'm using Arch 6.17.8 on my machine and am able to use Colima fine after this change.

### Release Notes

<details>
<summary>abiosoft/colima (abiosoft/colima)</summary>

### [`v0.10.0`](https://github.com/abiosoft/colima/releases/tag/v0.10.0)

[Compare Source](abiosoft/colima@v0.9.1...v0.10.0)

#### Highlights

This release introduces AI support and other updates.

##### AI is here

Colima now has AI support.

By leveraging [Krunkit](https://github.com/containers/krunkit) and [Ramalama](https://ramalama.ai/), Colima is able to provide the ideal platform to run confined, isolated and secure gpu-powered AI workloads on Apple Silicon devices.

```sh

# run a model
colima model run gemma3

# serve a model, chat interface would be availabe at localhost:8080
colima model serve gemma3

# for more
colima model --help
```

#### Other Updates

- Addition of `krunkit` virtual machine type with gpu support. `colima start --vm-type krunkit`.
- Incus instances are now reachable directly from the host if network address is enabled. `colima start --network-address`.
- Containerd runtime (with nerdctl command) now inherits `CONTAINERD_*` and `NERDCTL_*` environment variables on the host.
- Port forwarding can now be disabled by passing `--port-forwarder=none` to `colima start`.
- Volume mounts can now be disabled by passing `--mount=none` to `colima start`.
- Download mechanism has been reworked in native Go, eliminating dependency on `curl` and `shasum` on the host.
- New `after-boot` and `ready` provision modes for provision scripts.

##### Runtime version bumps

**NOTE:** container runtime versions can be updated manually by running the `colima update` command.

- Docker version updated to `v29.2.0`
- Nerdctl version updated to `v2.2.1`
- Incus version updated to `v6.21`
- K3s version defaults to `v1.35.0+k3s1`.
