### Historical Context
2013

Original Mission: The project started as "Proxmox-Port" to port Proxmox VE to non-x86 architectures.
15+
Rebranding: Due to trademark restrictions ("Proxmox" is a registered trademark of Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH), we renamed the project to PXVIRT to comply with legal requirements while preserving its core purpose.
