virt-manager can use your $HOME, without issue. You may run into issues if

what user that's running as.
Oh. It runs as `root`. Yeah, it can access your home directory without issue.
Actually, no it can't. qemu runs as the qemu user. Also, it can only
access files with the right selinux permissions. For example, if you
try to add an .iso file from your home directory, virt-manager will ask
you if it should change the permissions on the file.
The new permissions are:
-rw-r--r--. 1 qemu qemu system_u:object_r:virt_content_t:s0
The odd thing is if you say no to the changing permission, you will find
that the file is now owned by root instead!
