HVM domains (Hardware VM), in contrast to PV domains (Paravirtualized domains), allow one to create domains based on any OS for which one has an installation ISO. For example, this allows one to have Windows-based VMs in Qubes.

Qubes 4, every VM is HVM by default ([see here](https://blog.invisiblethings.org/2017/07/31/qubes-40-rc1.html)).

of the switch to HVM from R3.2's PV, and [here](https://www.qubes-os.org/news/2018/01/11/qsb-37/)
