In other words, contrary to end-to-end operating systems like [Qubes OS](https://www.qubes-os.org/) or the upcoming [Spectrum](https://spectrum-os.org/), which are offering ready to use templates or/and applications isolated in virtual machines by default, Phyllome OS delegates to end-users the task to install their favorite operating system, while trying to provide the best possible underlying defaults for each operating system. In this regard, its model is closer to [Promox](https://www.proxmox.com/en/), which doesn't make assumptions about how a guest operating system will be deployed.
## Phyllome OS versions
### Versions
Phyllome OS exists in two main editions: **Phyllome OS Desktop**, which features a graphical desktop environment, and **Phyllome OS Server**, which does not. Phyllome OS Server is made for power users. It includes all virtualization enhancements that Phyllome OS Desktop provides.
If you don't know which one to choose, you should probably pick the Desktop edition. Each edition comes with several versions, optimized for a particular combination of hardware.
| | Intel's graphics cards | AMD's graphics cards | Nvidia's graphics cards |
|---|---|---|---|
| *Intel CPU* | Phyllome OS Desktop II | Phyllome OS Desktop IA | Phyllome OS Desktop IN |
| *AMD CPU* | Phyllome OS Desktop AI | Phyllome OS Desktop AA | Phyllome OS Desktop AN |

Depending on your hardware, you need to pick the right edition. For example, if you possess an Intel CPU and an AMD graphics card, you should pick either Phyllome OS Desktop IA or Phyllome OS Server IA.
> As of now, **only Phyllome OS Desktop II is supported**. In other words, you need to use a computer with both an Intel CPU and an Intel GPU to leverage Phyllome OS. Support for other other editions are expected for the Beta.

* **Decreased general usability**. Any physical device attached to a computer won't automatically be made to a guest virtual machine. For some users, it might be considered a hindrance. Phyllome OS relies on Linux drivers. Not all hardware fully supports Linux well, which may force users to rely on device or controllers passthrough. Finally, the use of Phyllome OS will severely reduce your laptop battery-life.
