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.

    How can you boot natively to a proxmox VM? I’m guessing you’d have to keep a whole separate physical drive and pass through the whole drive to the windows VM or boot to that drive natively?

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

      Yup, that’s pretty much it! I haven’t figured out the specifics of setting it up beyond the fact that it’s possible. If it proves too complicated, I suppose it’s not too much harder to just maintain separate drives for Windows VMs and dual booting, since I won’t ever use it for anything other than games.
