 - **Process detachment**: you can log out and have your virtual machines
 still running, control them via Unix sockets
 
-## Is it better than `libvirt` ?
-
-No. `qemush` and `libvirt` are for different use cases. `qemush` will allow you to spin up virtual machines really fast and with as little setup as possible, and aims to be nothing more than a QEMU wrapper, while `libvirt` will offer better out-of-the-box experience, with already existing pre-configurations, associated tools like the `virt-manager` GUI and a friendlier process supervision. You should use `qemush` if you care about controlling every aspect of your virtual machines, and are already used to using bare QEMU without an abstraction layer.
-
 ## Dependencies
 
-From version 0.9.0, `qemush` is written in pure POSIX shell! The previous dependency on `bash` was removed in consequence.
-
 All dependencies are common packages for a distribution, you'll be able to
 grab them from your favorite packages sources.
 
 - `qemu` - this is literally a QEMU wrapper so there's a chance you'll
 need it
-- A POSIX compliant shell - `bash` (POSIX mode), `*ash`, `*ksh` are POSIX shells
+- `bash` - the `qemush` interpreter
 - `coreutils` - used for basic OS operations
 - `sudo` - execute commands as `qemu`
 - `socat` - monitor machines via Unix sockets
+- `pathof` - see [Installation instructions](#installation-instructions)
 - any text editor - used for builtin function to edit launching scripts
