the maintainer is currently Ubuntu, but they stuck at version 5.2.1, which was released in Jan 2021. would Pop! compile a more updated version (say 5.3.1)?

zstd formated Kernel has conflicts with the 5.2.1, causing issues with libguestfs, but it’s fixed upstream on 5.3.1+.

    Install latest Pop OS with say kernel 6.5.6…

    Install libguestfs-tools

    running virt-sparsify gives the following error

    Invalid ELF header magic: != \x7fELF insmod: init_module:virtio_snd.ko.zst: Invalid module format  
    supermin: waiting another 1024000000 ns for root UUID to appear  
    This usually means your kernel doesn't support virtio, or supermin was unable to load some kernel modules (see module loading messages above).
    

    Below is my error from running libguestfs-test-tool (edit: with sudo)

    'insmod: init_module: snd-timer.ko.zst: Invalid module format
