* **Lack of guest systems' integration**. Phyllome OS provides an optimized virtual machine model tuned to host modern operating systems, but, at the exception to some RPM-based guests operating systems including Phyllome OS itself, does not intent to provide automated ways to deploy guest operating systems (at the moment [Infrastructure as code solutions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrastructure_as_code) or instance initialization software like [cloud-init](https://github.com/canonical/cloud-init) do not seem generic enough to satisfy every modern desktop-based operating systems' idiosyncrasies). 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 [Proxmox](https://www.proxmox.com/en/), which doesn't make assumptions about how a guest operating system will be deployed.
## Advantages
### Advantages
* **Flexibility**. Due to their software-based nature, virtual machines are extremely flexible, and can for instance emulate features that their physical host may lack (i.e.: a [TPM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module); an extra network card).
