+Supported host architectures
+----------------------------
+
+Those hosts are officially supported, with various accelerators:
+
+ .. list-table::
+ :header-rows: 1
+
+ * - CPU Architecture
+ - Accelerators
+ * - Arm
+ - kvm (64 bit only), tcg, xen
+ * - MIPS
+ - kvm, tcg
+ * - PPC
+ - kvm, tcg
+ * - RISC-V
+ - tcg
+ * - s390x
+ - kvm, tcg
+ * - SPARC
+ - tcg
+ * - x86
+ - hax, hvf (64 bit only), kvm, nvmm, tcg, whpx (64 bit only), xen
+
+Other host architectures are not supported. It is possible to build QEMU on an
+unsupported host architecture using the configure ``--enable-tcg-interpreter``
+option to enable the experimental TCI support, but note that this is very slow
+and is not recommended.
+
+Non-supported architectures may be removed in the future following the
+:ref:`deprecation process<Deprecated features>`.
+
Linux OS, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD
