      I appreciate your feedback and completely understand your concerns! I agree that it's not the ideal setup. However, as mentioned in the video, this approach can be helpful for those who want to get started with Proxmox without removing their existing Windows setup. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

      @@Tech-TheLazyAutomator Have you heard about GPU Passthrough? It Lets you Pass a PCIe GPU through a VM. then you can Plug in a Monitor to the GPU and game on a Windows VM for example or have GPU acceleration for Video conversion or what ever you need a GPU for :)

      Shhh 🤫, let's keep my future video plans a secret for now! 🤫 Just a heads up, though, GPU passthrough is a bit advanced, and this video is aimed at beginners. From my personal experience, I wanted to share how I got started without diving into those complexities. So, others can too. I appreciate your input, though!

      It's not, not at all.
      In fact it's a great idea, virtualisation under virtualisation (nested virtualisation) is very common, it may introduce overhead but doesn't matter if its a home lab or testing environment. Even in production has been used and maintained extremely well, such as cloud services.
      Did you know pretty much all cloud services are nested virtualisation.
      Also saying something is a bad idea without specifying why is misleading and/or speculation.

    It is safe to say that none who decides he should try out proxmox may even need a tutorial on how to set-up hyper-v. They may maybe need to know about nested virtualization and its quirks but that's it.

      Thank you for your perspective! I can see how those familiar with Proxmox might not need a detailed Hyper-V setup. I aimed this video at beginners who might be new to both and want a safe way to explore Proxmox without altering their primary OS. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

      @@Tech-TheLazyAutomator a "beginner" will not even know what proxmox is and will not understand what it is nor have any use for it even if you explain it to them. Completely redundant video.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Just to clarify, when I mention 'beginner,' I’m referring to those who are new to Proxmox specifically but may already have experience with Type 2 hypervisors like VirtualBox. This video is meant to help them transition to a Type 1 hypervisor like Proxmox, which can be a big step. I remember wanting something like this when I was starting out, so I hope it’s useful for others in the same position. Appreciate your input!

    Though not supported I have my Proxmox setup as to be my Linux workstation. I have also Cinnamon installed as GUI. I manage and control Proxmox directly. Have two dedicated graphics cards and monitors for virtual machines. I am not a gamer at all. This my setup works well for me.

      That sounds amazing! 🎉 I’m so excited to hear about your Proxmox setup! I also have a similar configuration where I’ve virtualized Windows and an Ubuntu desktop, using GPU passthrough for dual displays. It really takes the experience to the next level! And also welcome to our channel! We're thrilled to have you here and can’t wait to learn and discover more together!

    Bad idea 😂 This is so much work just to test it out.
    These are the tools I would recommend for virtualisation -
    For beginners:
    Sun Virtual Box and VM Ware Player are the best free tools available
    For intermediates:
    VM Ware workstation
    For advance users:
    QEMU and Docker

      Thank you for sharing your recommendations! 😊 I definitely understand that using Hyper-V might seem like a bit of extra work, but since Hyper-V is a Type 1 hypervisor, it offers closer-to-hardware performance compared to the Type 2 options like VirtualBox. This video is aimed at Windows users who want to start with Proxmox without altering their main OS setup, so I chose Hyper-V for the best performance in a Windows environment. Thanks again for your input, appreciate the chance to discuss different approaches!

      I cannot understand the hate for Hyper-V for the life of me. Microsoft even has a hyper-v server 2019 that is COMPLETELY FREE.

      Right? Hyper-V doesn’t get nearly the love it deserves! Even I’m guilty of moving away from Microsoft products lately, because Linux just offers so much control. But Hyper-V definitely deserves more appreciation! 🙌 Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

      @@Tech-TheLazyAutomator Great effort in getting Proxmox to run on a Type 1 Hypervisor! It’s valuable for people to know it’s possible. But in my experience, it’s a bit of a hassle and requires following very specific steps to get it set up right. The overall experience isn’t as smooth as running it on actual hardware.
      A suggestion: try making videos that solve real-world problems for a wider audience, rather than focusing on unique or experimental setups. This approach will likely bring in more subscribers and views, matching the effort you put into creating these videos.
