This complements the [`system`](#conf-system) and [`extra-platforms`](#conf-extra-platforms) configuration options and the corresponding [`system`](@docroot@/language/derivations.md#attr-system) attribute on derivations.
Derivations can require system features in the derivation attribute [`requiredSystemFeatures`](@docroot@/language/advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-requiredSystemFeatures).
A derivation can require system features in the [`requiredSystemFeatures` attribute](@docroot@/language/advanced-attributes.md#adv-attr-requiredSystemFeatures), and the machine to build the derivation must have them.
System features are generally user-defined, but the following have special treatment:
System features are user-defined, but Nix sets the following defaults:
- `kvm`
Set by default if `/dev/kvm` is accessible.
