Liav A 629eed3a4c Meta: Add option to run SerenityOS on a QEMU MicroVM machine
The microvm machine type is a modern tool for kernel and firmware
developers to test their software against features like FDTs, second
IOAPIC, lack of legacy devices by default, the ability of using PCIe
without using PCI x86 IO ports, etc.

We can boot into such machine but we are limited in the functionality we
support currently for this type of virtual machine.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

You can watch videos of the system being developed on YouTube:

How do I read the documentation?

Man pages are available online at man.serenityos.org. These pages are generated from the Markdown source files in Base/usr/share/man and updated automatically.

When running SerenityOS you can use man for the terminal interface, or help for the GUI.
