# On KVM virtualization

*In this section, the focus is on KVM virtualization, and its associated tools, including QEMU, the Linux Kernel, `libvirt`, etc., mostly in the context of Phyllome OS.* 

## Guest operating systems

*[This section](/virt/guest) provides a reference for guest operating systems used in KVM-powered virtual machines, and their current support.*

* [ReactOS](/virt/guest/reactos)
* ...and [**more**](/virt/guest)

## The host operating system

*[This section](/virt/host) provides a reference for the host operating system.*

* [Linux Kernel modules](/virt/host/modules) related to virtualization
* [Virtualization-related paths](/virt/linux-paths) on Phyllome OS
* [XML](/virt/xml) commented
* [GPU virtualization](/virt/gpu)

## Virtual hardware

* [Anatomy of a virtual machine](/virt/vm)
	* [Architecture](/virt/architecture)
	* [Chipset](/virt/chipset)
  * [Firmware](/virt/firmware)
  * [CPU](/virt/cpu)
  * [Memory](/virt/memory)
  * [Storage](/virt/storage)
  * [Network](/virt/network)
  * [Display](/virt/display)
* [Paravirtualized hardware](/virt/virtio) (`virtio`)
