Phyllome OS provides an optimized virtual machine model tuned to host modern operating systems, but do not intent to provide automated ways to deploy guest operating systems (such as [Infrastructure as code solutions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_as_code) or an instance initialization software like [cloud-init](https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init)). + +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 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 an operating system will be deployed. ## Overall view -After Phyllome OS has been successfully installed, a few tasks are required before it can be used to its fullest potential. +After Phyllome OS [has been successfully installed](/deploy/install) and [the first-launch is process is done](/deploy/install#first-launch), a few tasks are required before it can be used to its fullest potential. + +As Phyllome OS evolves, one of the main goal is to shorten the time it would take for an end-user to have a fully operational virtual machine running with favorite operating system optimized virtual machine with their favorite operating system. * **Run a few post-installation scripts** * **Create a virtual machine** @@ -33,7 +37,6 @@ After Phyllome OS has been successfully installed, a few tasks are required befo * automatically, using a kickstart file, for compatible guest systems * **Learn how make the most out of it** -As Phyllome OS evolves, one of the main goal is to shorten the time it would take for an end-user to have a fully operationnal virtual machine running with favorite operating system optimized virtual machine with their favorite operating system. ## Post-installation configuration
