< p > There is not an os template for Clear Linux, but < strong > Fedora29< / strong > works fine for me.

< p > The image has a gpt partition table. I am not sure if that is the reason why,

< p > The < a href = "https://cdn.download.clearlinux.org/releases/current/clear/" target = "_blank" > image download< / a > is an 8gb sparse raw image. You may wish to convert that to qcow2
and and resize before creating the virtual machine. Here is how to do that.< / p >
