Very cool, snapshotting has come a long way in recent years.

I don't see anything about graphics in the article - could this approach also be used to clone a VM running a desktop window manager like Gnome or KDE? Or would that rely on GPU memory which is not included in the dumps?

I don't believe Firecracker currently supports GPU (latest what I saw about it is here: https://github.com/firecracker-microvm/firecracker/issues/11...). But I wouldn't be surprised if there's another MicroVM manager that would support GPU + snapshotting.
