I have an n100 miniPC with 16GB ram.
I previously installed proxmox which worked great for general VMs. However I specifically needed a 'light duty' standalone desktop. I created a fedora (40) vm, but whilst I had GPU passthrough partially working (proxmox - drivers for display all disabled), it was not reliable. I saw GPU corruption when web browsing, some acceleration tasks failed. various gpu memory/addressing issues. I went through the iommu configuration but never got to the bottom of it.
I have an old intel 5th gen actually running a similar config, but with windows guest, and it actually works well...!
I ended up installing fedora 41 natively, and this has been rock solid. Browser (edge) performs decently. But much of the time the system is very idle, and I could easily add extra workload
So I was wondering about experimenting with proxmox again, I suspect this will take many iterations to explore, which is why I want to retain the native install -- which gets me to the question.
Any recommendations on adding proxmox to the existing environment? Unfortunately I have 4 partitions set up in the current fedora workstation install(/boot/efi /boot, /home, /)
