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-managerdon’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.
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-managereven works remotely over SSH if you have another machine you want to run your VMs on!GPU passthrough was the next thing I tried! Do you know any good tutorials? The one I found tells me to do mkinitcpio but I don’t seem to have that. I think I mentioned this is Debian but in case I forgot its Debian.
I don’t have a specific guide for you, but a good place to start is: https://wiki.debian.org/VGAPassthrough
