My use case is to boot the same OS with different GPU on demand.
The proxmox box I used at home also serves as my desktop. There are 2 nvidia GPU installed and I would like to easily boot the same os with different gpu on different usage and keep idle one for another linux box running some simple AI calculation.

i.e. if I am going to do the office work, movie, youtube, I would boot with a lower end gpu; or
if I am going to do gaming, VR, I would boot with a better gpu.

There is 2 options for me.
1. Without using hookscript, I will write a script to edit the conf file for the vm to select the desired gpu, and activate this command by voice via siri integration.
2. Set up 2 VM with different gpu but with the same disk volumn and uuid, and use hootscript to transplant the other usb / audio devices that will share among the 2 vm.

Which one is the better option, or is there any easier way out? Thanks.
