Description

  • This PR adds missing VM requirements for running ubuntu-desktop using Multipass. It explicitly states the minimum VM requirements (10GB disk, 2GB RAM) needed to successfully install and run ubuntu-desktop on a Multipass instance.

  • This update is important as it ensures users don't run into iresource-related failures when attempting to install the desktop environment and access it via RDP

Closes #3657
