+
+This is an advanced distro that is known for its no-nonsense approach to Linux. It does not come with a graphical desktop environment by default, making it a good choice for those who want a minimal system to run KVM on. ULTMOS was developed on this distro, and so compatibility with it is fully guaranteed.
+
+>[!CAUTION] 
+> Arch Linux is NOT recommended for new users, but for those already comfortable with Linux. When requesting support or reporting issues on this distro, you will be expected to have a fully working OS install.
