Would the software installation suffice though, to have nested virtualization working on the ubuntu runners? To the best of my knowledge, KVM is not enabled on those machines, I think that would be the first thing to address.

If this isn't supported yet, wouldn't it be better to keep this issue open?

Can this be done as part of Roadmap #161 ?
