Having virt-manager installed makes presence of Cockpit Web Console optional . It's nice to have Cockpit Console installed, however it is not required. Presence edk2-ovmf is a must. Situation is the same on Tumbleweed, Ubuntu 22.04, Debian 12.(X), Manjaro Linux 23.1.3. If my understanding of functionality of virt-manager is wrong, please, advise . I've placed a couple of snapshots here https://dbaxps.blogspot.com/2024/03/virt-manager-vs-cockpit-... Virt-manager allows to deploy KVM guests in UEFI mode with no problems .

UPDATE as of 03/31/24

Same procedure - Virt-manager && Deploying KVM Guests in UEFI mode on AlmaLinux 9.3 was tested. Bridge was installed via nmcli to avoid any involvement of cockpit.service. See for detailis http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/338368/index.html. Everything works on AlmaLinux 9.3 as on openSUSE Tumbleweed. KVM Setup on AlmaLinux 9.(X) follows standard guide lines. Snapshots were placed in https://dbaxps.blogspot.com/2024/03/virt-manager-deploying-k...
