more memory, (-m 2047) more -smp :)

there is link for opensuse install, you can use pre-installed os image

https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:AArch64#Using_an_emulator

or debian arm64 image (also pre-installed, so no need for multihour long
install)

https://wiki.debian.org/Arm64Qemu
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/openstack/current-10/

you can prepare specific source image with pre-downloaded/unpacked/patched
source and add this as second hdd...
