Commandments

Phyllome OS tries to stick to three generic rules or commandments, which can be summed up as follows : Phyllome OS should stay out of users’ way and allow them to run their current operating system well.

• Stay out of my way

  • Users shouldn’t have to spend much time managing Phyllome OS.

• Run my current operating system¹

  • Phyllome OS is designed to be the coziest home for a user’s favorite operating system36, not a replacement for it. Users should be able to continue to use their preferred operating system.

• Run it well
  • Most users will only want to run one, or at most a handful of, virtual machines concurrently ², just as most users only use one machine at a time. Phyllome OS should attempt to maximize the performance of the virtual machine it hosts, with the goal of matching its physical counterpart.
