Hello people, I currently use Manjaro Linux with a 100GB SSD primary disk, I only have 20GB of free space. However I have a secondary disk of 1TB I would like to know how I do so that my installation is on the secondary disk! Is there such a possibility since the total installation of OX is over 60GB?

Also, is it possible to install it in the hard drive itself rather than in an emulated disk? I imagine performance would be much better

Yes it is possible, I just added the full path to the album, everything is going well so far! qemu-img create -f qcow2 /run/media/droid/DataGlobal/macox/Disco-osX.qcow2 70G
