From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Gaming in Proxmox VM, feasible? (lemmy.ml)

I'm considering to switch to Proxmox for my main PC, run a Windows VM on top and passthrough the GPU to play games. However, I heard anti-cheates aren't that friendly to VMs. Had anyone tried this? Thanks.

Maybe they mean they will dual boot between windows and a hypervisor? I've never considered if that's a possibility.

Yeah, I mean being able to boot either into proxmox or windows. But in proxmox, I can also open that windows install as a VM.

Some details on how it should work are here (apologies for the reddit link): https://www.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/aejdqk/kvm_importuse_existing_windows_install_on_disk/edqtmvb/
