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.
Isn’t Proxmox intended for servers whose only use is to run VMs? Why not go for a traditional desktop distro like Mint and run KVM, QEMU, or VirtualBox on it?
Anyway, I have heard something like this, but it probably depends on the anti-cheat. Some might run in kernel mode to deliberately detect VMs. Others won’t care if you use a VM.
Proxmox runs KVM/Qemu in the backend, so it’s essentially the same thing. OP might want to have a machine in their rack they use for remote gaming for example.
Also don’t use VirtualBox.
What is wrong with using virtualbox?
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.
