Otherwise virt-manager will report failure of deploying any guest due to /var/lib/libvirt/images/ "folder" , which for Libvirt 6.6.0 && Qemu 5.1.0, should already belong to "btrfs" formatted filesystem at least at time of writing of this post.
Install KVM
$ sudo apt install qemu-kvm \
libvirt-daemon bridge-utils \
virtinst libvirt-daemon-system -y
$ sudo apt install virt-top libosinfo-bin \
qemu-system virt-manager -y
$ sudo modprobe vhost_net
$ lsmod | grep vhost
$ echo vhost_net | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
$ sudo reboot
$ echo vhost_net | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
$ sudo reboot
