UserVM Handbook

Welcome to the official guide on setting up a UserVM.

Prerequisites

You'll need:

A machine with decent specs (8GB of RAM and a modern CPU, probably)
A Linux distribution; You can pick any mainstream distro, for the purposes of this guide I recommend either Debian/Devuan or Arch/Artix. I recommend the OpenRC versions (Devuan/Artix) but that's just preference, pick what you're comfortable with. Yes, Ubuntu will work, it's terrible though
Basic knowledge of how computers and Linux systems work. We aren't going to hold your hand, you need to be comfortable with a command line
A few hours

First up make sure you have git installed:

sudo pacman -S --needed git
sudo apt install git
