Hi @akashdeep-24, this looks a little redundant to me, but maybe we could adapt the previous paragraph, to make it clear that the instances that Multipass spins up are full Ubuntu VMs, perhaps with other typical use cases (beside cloud simulation).

@geoffreynyaga I would like your opinion here.

@akashdeep-24 ,
Thank you for taking time to contribute to Multipass docs.
Looking at your addition, there's slight aspects of redundancy and some information that can already be found in the docs. I agree with @ricab that we need to add the aspects of "full Ubuntu VMS" and other typical use cases to the first paragraph. I would suggest we update the first paragraph of the README to this instead:

Multipass is a lightweight VM manager that lets developers quickly spin up full Ubuntu virtual machines on Linux, Windows, or macOS with a single command. It's ideal for testing, development, and learning Linux environments. It uses KVM on Linux, Hyper-V on Windows, and QEMU on macOS to run VMs with minimal overhead (it can also use VirtualBox on Windows and macOS). Multipass fetches the necessary Ubuntu images and keeps them up to date.
