`To-do`

|
|
These instructions are valid for x86-64 computers that do ship with Linux or Windows

Phyllome OS targets x86 systems with hardware-assisted virtualization,
|
|
|
|
with a strong preference for those providing IOMMU as well. It may
|
|
|
|
support ARM[^49]- or RISC-V-based platforms in the future.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is expected that Phyllome OS will consume approximately 1 CPU core
|
|
|
|
and 1 GB of RAM[^50], which should be enough to accommodate a few
|
|
|
|
virtual machines. For instance, on a system with a CPU with 4 cores and
|
|
|
|
8 GB of RAM, a guest virtual machine will be able to be assigned up to 3
|
|
|
|
cores and 7 GB of RAM.
