# The Phyllome OS wiki

In this wiki, you will find guides about [how to install](/deploy/install), [use](/getstarted/disk) and [hack](/gofurther/hack) Phyllome OS. You will also find more generic information on the [underlying technologies](/virt), Phyllome OS [itself](/phyllomeos) and the surrounding [project](/project).

Phyllome[^1] OS is an operating system that makes it easier to run [various operating systems](/gofurther) locally using [off-the-shelf hardware](/deploy/prepare) and [virtualization](/virt/lexicon#virtualization) technologies.

[^1]: According to [the Wiktionary](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/phyllome), Phyllome refers to the "foliar part of a plant; any organ homologous with a leaf, or [any organ] produced by metamorphosis of a leaf"
