The ubuntu-latest runner provides 16GB RAM, which we don't need given that we're no longer running xfstests.

GNU cpio is only needed for the dracut-cpio.rs unit tests, which compare
output of the two archivers.

Unlike the ubuntu-latest runner, $USER is unset on ubuntu-slim.

ubuntu-slim is unfortunately not an option for various reasons:

  • no kvm
  • no ability to create tap network devices
  • no access to running kernel

It looks as though it runs as an unprivileged container.
