I’m sitting here thinking about projects, wishing I could fire up a new VM and install Debian while I sit here on the couch. Then I would have a fresh VM ready to go after I recover from sitting on the couch.

Unfortunately the web GUI is not very mobile friendly. Or maybe it is and I just suck at it.

I realize I could have templates and stuff ready to go, but that would require foresight.

And I am just a guy sitting on a couch.

    It’s really simple. Hardly use it for any heavy lifting.

    I use Proxmox to play with VMs and Open Media Vault on top to be my NAS.

    I’ve done RDP, but figured that it could only be done on desktop.

      I would get a GPU for VFIO and then setup sunshine for streaming. Sunshine won’t work well over really slow connections or connections with high latency but it will allow for a good gaming experience.

        Should I get a GPU that supports vGPUs or you mean like a GPU passthrough to the VM?

        Everything is wired in my house so thankfully it’s pretty fast.

            How can a consumer GPu be used across multiple VMs?

            Sorry if it’s a dumb question. I’ve never messed with GPUs. 90% of the things I do is headless and through CLI.

              Under hardware > display there is an option for VirtiO-GPU and VirGL-GPU. I’m not super knowledgeable but I think these options allows VMs to make system calls to the GPU. I put an ancient Quadro in my server and my RDP sessions were noticeably better.
