Install FydeOS in Proxmox VE

I tried setting the BIOS to UEFI and pretty much when through all the steps mentioned above - IT WILL NOT BOOT. Just hangs...
I've tried the qm import - tried SCSI, IDE, SATA, everything just in case it hung because the drive was unrecognized.
Also tried host. Nothing! That "usually" solves the problem in a lot of my predicaments.
Holy **** this OS seems to be dammed!! I love the fact you can run both linux & android WITHOUT a play account but hell, I've been spinning my wheels for a full day. Last time I recall doing something like this was back in the NT days playing nice with MSSQL Server (and yes, MSSQL, I said it)

Whomever solves this is ACES in my book!!
It seems to have been successfully powered on, but the built-in graphics cannot be displayed. Set VGA to none and use the graphics card RX550 to display successfully.
 
Interesting. Well, that sounds like it'll be good info for anyone else that wants to try running it. :)
 
It looks like the latest version is now v19 and looks like they now have various download options based on your CPU type. I would guess for Proxmox, unless you are using "Host" as CPU, the Legacy Intel one should be the one to try.

I tried to download the image, extract it, rename it to .raw, import disk but I can't get the VM to boot with an error

kvm: -device ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0,id=ide0,bootindex=100: Cannot get 'write' permission without 'resize': Image size is not a multiple of request alignment
start failed: QEMU exited with code 1

EDIT: I just tried downloading the .OVA file, tar extract the .vmdk, qm disk convert it, import disk and still can't boot from it. I don't understand why it wouldn't even boot. It said No bootable option or device was found.

This is my third day using Proxmox, please overlook the stupidity. That said...

FydeOS has a vmware disk image download, using ova format and a OVA to VDMK conversion tool exists. My questionn is, if the VM were configured to have all components compatible with vmware, as in the screenshots below, would that change anything? If it does, please share.
