    Can you say more about this? The video card you’re passing through is on the Proxmox server, yes? Then you’re booting VMs and connecting via a thin client?

    No lag issues? Are you connecting local USB devices to your thin client? What about video conferencing?

      “The video card you’re passing through is on the Proxmox server, yes?”

      Yes, although my gaming PC itself is the Proxmox Server. So I plug the monitor directly into it. I also have some thin clients that can play the game remotely from the host. A Steamlink and a Steamdeck, and as long as they’re on the same wifi network it works great!

      The benefit for me is I can move between different operating systems like dual booting, but it’s way easier to pivot to a whole new OS.

      Techno Tim has a YouTube video that I watched a few years ago that sparked the idea. Google Techno Tim Remote Gaming or follow this link if you’d like to watch more.
