Recommended Host OSes
There are many, many distros of Linux to choose from. While theoretically universal, ULTMOS has been tested on several mainstream distros. These are listed below with links for your convenience.
Note
This is NOT an exhaustive list, and simply a recommended selection. You are always free to use any distro you like, and don't worry - issues / reports will always be investigated regardless of your distro or if it's listed here!
Arch Linux
Arch Linux Contributors • Open Website... ⎋
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.
EndeavourOS

A more user-friendly approach to an Arch-based system. ULTMOS was developed primarily on Arch Linux, so for almost-guaranteed compatibility - an Arch-based distro is recommended.
Linux Mint
Linux Mint Team • Open Website... ⎋
The recommended option for new users; especially those who are accustomed to Windows. Linux Mint is built on an Ubuntu / Debian foundation. ULTMOS has been tested on Linux Mint.
Zorin OS
Zorin OS Team • Open Website... ⎋
This is another very user-friendly distro based on Ubuntu. Similar to Linux Mint, it is aimed at users of Windows by providing a simple but stylish design, that can be customised to look similar to other OSes.
Ubuntu
Canonical • Open Website... ⎋
The most well-known Linux distro, popular for its application support and ease of use. Also forms the base framework for many other distros, such as Linux Mint.
Warning
Ubuntu contains an application distribution method known as "Snap". These "Snap packages" are NOT compatible with ULTMOS, and you will lose technical support when submitting issues or bug reports if you install any dependencies as Snap packages.
Fedora
The Fedora Project • Open Website... ⎋
A popular Linux distro developed by The Fedora Project. Several users have reported success using ULTMOS on Fedora.
