Am I right in thinking KVM is not a type 1 hypervisor as in install on the host from a iso?
You need a base Linux OS like Ubuntu then install KVM. -
@hobbit666 KVM is already built in to the fedora-branch of distros. Not sure about Ubuntu, but I would imagine so. Just have to set it up.I would also imagine that the Linux environment that you set up for initial installation would be considered Dom0.

You need a base Linux OS like Ubuntu then install KVM.Why would the way you install it not make it a type 1? When you install it on a Linux distribution the distribution becomes a VM on top of KVM. It's similar, but different, to how Xen and Hyper-V work.

That's why I was asking to me installing a OS then the hypervisor doesn't sound like Type1 to me, hence asking.
If it then changes the way the machine runs then yes it might be a type1
my only exposer to KVM is seeing it mentioned -

This is why I don't use HyperV
Setup new server gave it a name and IP connected to it via HperV Manager on Windows 10 Pro machine:-
Tried 5nine when creating a switch:-
If you are connecting to Hyper-V in a workgroup environment, take a look at this link

You need a base Linux OS like Ubuntu then install KVM.The way I understand it (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is that KVM is a kernal module that turns Linux into a type-1 hypervisor. It looks confusing because the distro you installed is still fully functional.

I think that KVM is considered a Type-0 hypervisor... but it's more closely related to Type-1 then it is Type-2.

Type 0 isn't exactly a real thing. It's a informal type of type 1.

That's basically correct. Linux itself is the hypervisor.

Ah that makes sense. I had never learned about Type 0 until I had played with KVM.

You need a base Linux OS like Ubuntu then install KVM.That's how Xen and Hyper-V install too.

It's marketing. And it has changed since it isn't a real definition. VMware always wants ESXi to be the only type 0 so the definition is a moving one.

/rootis a directory for the root user and/is the root directory, but if you create a new user it's put under/home/username. Is this because the home directory can be put on a different parition and if it failed to mount would screw you? -
