Okay so here's the tea: if you don't tell it what type you want, incus just assumes the type is "custom". Like, it's not gonna ask, it's not gonna wait, it just defaults. periodt.

And for snapshots? You add the snapshot name β€” but only if the type is one of custom, container or virtual-machine. iykyk πŸ‘‘
