 libvirt is a tool for managing platform virtualization like KVM and QEMU (among others).
 I'll only focus on using it with KVM (and QEMU) here.
 
-## General
+## Installation
 
-- Requires Intel VT or AMD-V to be enabled to function optimally.
+## Arch Linux
+
+1. Enable Intel VT/AMD-V and other virtualization features in hypervisor's BIOS settings.
+1. Install stuff: `sudo pacman -S virtualbox virtualbox-host-modules-arch virtualbox-guest-iso`
+1. Enable extra network modules: Add `vboxnetadp` annd `vboxnetflt` as lines in `/etc/modules-load.d/vbox.conf`, then update initramfs with `mkinitcpio -P` (unknown if this is required).
+1. Give yourself extra permissions: `sudo usermod -aG vboxusers $(whoami)`
 
 ## Usage
 
 ### Storage
 
+- Generally use the VDI disk type, unless you need interoperability with other things.
 - Resize VM disk: `VBoxManage modifyhd <disk>.vdi --resize <size-in-MB>`
