I run Proxmox Back Server inside PVE LXC containers on all my PVE cluster nodes, and wondering if it would be possible to do the same for Proxmox VE inside an Incus LXC container?

I'm about to test running Proxmox in an Incus VM on an Archlinux variant, but it occurred to me that if I need to do that, then perhaps I could get better mileage out of using an Incus LXC container instead, if it were possible. The CachyOS desktop I use is currently installed on a ZFS filesystem and I would consider using a Proxmox kernel on the host, assuming I could work out how to do that on an Archlinux based system etc.

The reason for doing a virtualized Proxmox is that I cannot get iGPU passthrough to work on a Minisforum MS-01, and I'll be damned if I am not going to use that lovely machine as my daily desktop driver(s) as well.
