I also just noticed on new virt-manager install, that no OS's displayed when creating VM, only 'Generic' is listed as an option, although using Cockpit, all OS's are available. something to do with the mac libosinfo install maybe?

Problem is that there is no dir /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/osinfo and no OS db in it. Just the same as no ids for either usb or pci, see https://github.com/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager/issues/140

This is how I fixed it:

rm -rf /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/osinfo
wget -P /tmp "https://releases.pagure.org/libosinfo/osinfo-db-20200325.tar.xz"
tar xvf /tmp/osinfo-db-20200325.tar.xz -C /tmp
mv -v /tmp/osinfo-db-20200325 /usr/local/Cellar/libosinfo/1.7.1/share/osinfo
rm /tmp/osinfo-db-20200325.tar.xz
