When I try to create a VM with
orb create nixos
I get the dreaded error
[-32098] create 'nixos': make rootfs: image not found: {nixos 25.05 default}
When instead I do
orb create nixos:25.11
the command succeeds. All of this despite the fact that the Orbstack GUI lists only the versions 25.05 and Unstable (see screenshot). What's going on here? Is my Orbstack install corrupted? Many thanks for any help. PS: I'm under a macOS Tahoe host on an ARM machine. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1493900710083956787/1493900710264176760/Screenshot_2026-04-15_at_6.52.48_pm.png?ex=69e0a6f4&is=69df5574&hm=9a576f70467367868de273085190a2a8110a4571f16bc8e7a5c0b7a2469c4b4d&

Also getting this, looks like a bug
