Phyllome OS targets x86 systems with hardware-assisted virtualization, with a strong preference for those providing IOMMU-based hardware-assisted virtualization (AMD Vi or Intel VT-d).
A CPU that supports hardware-assisted virtualization might not be enough, as the motherboard also requires to support this feature. Together with the lack of documentation, it makes the selection of a platform rather tricky.

Sitting idle, Phyllome OS consumes approximately 1 CPU core and 1.5 GB of RAM.

Hardware-assisted virtualization is a hit or miss on Apple computers, as there is no way to access the firmware configuration tool on these computers. Apple users can go to the install section directly.
