A backup of your current configuration has now been date recorded & placed in the Distro Folder
Stay with the start line pointing to qqX ? (set as System, if unsure)
[enter] yes, continue with 'qqX' [no] use System /usr/bin/quickemu [q] quit tune-up, leave as is, or delete

The line 'disk_size=' may be removed if wished, at the end the tune-up, or left as a reminder.
This disk has now been created and this line now has no direct effect.
Resizing, at this stage may be effected using the qqX 'disk' utilities.

You have 12 'cores' available (actual cores, or cores x threads)
Normal guest setting should be around 2/3 to 3/4 of the host's.
All available 'cores x threads' can be allocated, esp. if running the VM full screen
These are VIRTUAL cores. So more than physically available may also be used too.
Possibly, if using 'big LITTLE' CPU's you *may* choose to use a lower figure.
Quickemu defaults to half the physical count. But be generous as less will actually be used.
And the host CPU virtualizing units will always protect things ....
Suggested setting: cpu_cores="10" or cpu_cores="8"
CURRENT setting: cpu_cores="8"
[enter] use 8 [integer] choose (even numbers are usual) [d] use quickemu defaults [q] quit tune-up

Max cores set to 8
Memory showing:
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 16G 1.8G 11G 457M 3.9G 14G
Swap: 2.1G 0B 2.1G
Don't stinge on the VM's RAM Again, esp. if running the VM full screen.
Quickemu will default to half, even quarter minimals ...
For full screen VM, suggest RAM of around 2/3 total, round up/down to expected guest/host demand
Add about half of shared RAM, used for graphics
Integer values only. Possibly reduce if high quotas present.
Use programs such as 'htop' for further tuning.
Your host system is showing 16G of RAM, of which some *may* be allocated to graphics
Suggested RAM (lower) = 9G
Suggested RAM (higher) = 10G
CURRENT setting: ram="10G"

POST-INSTALL Linux distros:
Installing spice-vdagent IN THE GUEST may help enable SPICE copy/paste and USB redirection.
Installing spice-webdavd in the GUEST may help enable sharing to a defined Public folder.
ALL distros:
The qqX 'shared drive' is available to help with sharing between distros
[enter] all good, continue [r] revert back to the old config
[e] edit the config file in more detail
