*[Phyllome OS](https://phyllo.me/) is an operating system that makes it easier to run various guest systems locally using [off-the-shelf hardware](https://wiki.phyllo.me/deploy/prepare).*

## Deploy

*The section is meant to help users prepare their computer to host Phyllome OS, to pick the right version that will suit their needs, to understand its limitations, and to install it.*

* **Choose**

	* ...and [**more**](https://wiki.phyllo.me/en/deploy)

## Get started

*The section is meant to introduce how to use Phyllome OS in a general way.*

* [Use it as a live system](/getstarted/live) (*to test it*)
* [Use it as an installed system](/getstarted/disk) (*for daily use*)

## Go further

*The section is meant to introduce how to execute particular taks on Phyllome OS, including deploying certain guest systems. Some of these tasks will be rendered obsolete with newer Phyllome OS versions.*
