good morning,
So, contrary to popular opinion, I've decided to try to use proxmox as a primary desktop. Conceptually, correct me if I'm wrong, it seems plausible to have GPU pass through to a vm of windows 11 and then run proxmox off of integrated graphics. Testing this concept has not been fruitful leading me to research a bit more. Solutions:
Anybody, with experience in this before i go back to being a windows user?
I think the first option is the only one I'm interested in at this moment before I jump back to solution 5.
here are some diagnostics from codes i ran:
*note: only strange thing I notice is that my vfio drivers do not exist under Nvidia GPU @ command #lspci -v
this is strange because I bought a new CPU and they existed prior to its install. Likely, it might be because i went from a 5600x to a 5600gt and changed the bios settings to:
-IGFS Multimonitor=Enabled
-Primary Video Device=IGFX Video
IOMMU groups (scripted command)
So, contrary to popular opinion, I've decided to try to use proxmox as a primary desktop. Conceptually, correct me if I'm wrong, it seems plausible to have GPU pass through to a vm of windows 11 and then run proxmox off of integrated graphics. Testing this concept has not been fruitful leading me to research a bit more. Solutions:
- As I've initiated my GPU to passthrough to a VM, maybe i can create a passthrough for my integrated graphics CPU to Proxmox/lightdm.
- My latest idea is that my motherboard needs to have a feature called 'hybrid graphics' or a feature called 'IGD multi monitor' that might facilitate the solution mentioned above.
- I could go Arch Linux and use virt-manager
- could go for double graphics cards or break up my 3080 into a couple of vGPU
- I could just run WSL on a windows OS and run some containers and stuff through there like Jellyfin and Cloudfile. (my main focus-choosing proxmox for stability and learning and ability to scale future projects up)
