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.

      It’s subpar, closed source, kernel module installing, type 2 virtualization that makes users believe VMs are slow, when in fact Type 1 hypervisors usually achieve near 98% efficiency. And too boot it means that open-source projects like virt-manager don’t get the usership they deserve and need to continue being maintained.

      There is legit not a single reason to use it on Linux, and there hasn’t been in well over a decade.

          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.
