Lima Desktop 0.3.0

Install

macOS (13 or newer, Apple silicon or Intel): open the .dmg and drag Lima Desktop to
Applications. This build isn't signed with an Apple Developer ID yet, so macOS quarantines
the download and says the app "is damaged" or "can't be checked". Remove the quarantine once:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Lima Desktop.app"

(A .dmg fetched with curl -LO isn't quarantined in the first place.) It needs Lima 2
(limactl) installed.

Linux (x86_64): sudo apt install ./Lima.Desktop_*_amd64.deb, or make the .AppImage
executable and run it. Needs WebKitGTK 4.1 (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 39+).

What's Changed

• Record VM stalls; one time range; container memory against its VM by @daaain in #8
• Menu bar icons + popover by @daaain in #9

Full Changelog: v0.2.1...v0.3.0
