I’m considering to switch to Proxmox for my main PC, run a Windows VM on top and passthrough the GPU to play games. However, I heard anti-cheates aren’t that friendly to VMs. Had anyone tried this? Thanks.

    Wow I didn’t even know it was closed source. Thanks for pointing this out, I will definitely be getting virt-manager.

      It’s not entirely closed source, but the extension packs are. The other reason are the main one that should make you switch. Why use subpar software when there’s a better, trusted by the entire industry, alternative builtin already?

        I am already spinning up a Debian vm. I had a minor issue with file permissions but it it is working great now and is definitely faster than I remember virtualbox being. I am so glad I saw your comment and I would switch to this even if Richard Stallman himself wrote Virtualbox and all the extensions.

          It’s also a whole lot more flexible. And will easily do full PCIe passthrough with some more advance configuration. virt-manager even works remotely over SSH if you have another machine you want to run your VMs on!
