Why would I ever dualboot?

And plasma/gnome et al. don't seem to work with proxmox.

Thus something like dwm.

I mostly use win11 as my main os, and using proxmox as a base lets me properly use things like pihole, homeassistant, nextcloud, and other such services, because Windows really sucks for virtualizing those.

And OS hopping is a lot easier when I have a backend like proxmox.

Want to try arch but not sure if nvidia/wayland support is there yet? Roll up a gpu-p'd VM for it, instead of wiping the entire disk.

Edit: To further elaborate on what I have setup.

1. Go through the typical proxmox install.
2. Get debian up to date.
3. Add Librewolf's sources.
4. apt install picom lightdm dwm librewolf
5. Reboot.
6. Login to dwm via lightdm, and open up librewolf.
7. Navigate to the web ui.
8. Add W11 VM image to storage.
9. Create a W11 VM.
10. Install W11 via VNC.
11. GPU-P + USB Passthrough to W11.
12. You're now in Windows.

Pseudocode and/or a variant of lua.

Commented on this twice already, so see those replies;

I'm using the web ui, I just need to use it from dwm on the same system for the initial master vm configuration.

After I have gpu-p and such configured, I can access the web ui from inside the vm.

The question was though what other options than dwm would be more fit for me, and what's available on debian/proxmox.

Because while dwm is lightweight like i3, awesome, bspwm, etc, it's not a great fit right now.

Probably shouldn't, no.

But I have no other way to use proxmox.

Sure I can use tty to achieve some of the stuff, but that's it.

Dwm is needed to properly configure Proxmox from the Web UI.

Proxmox doesn't have a desktop by default? That's why I need something like dwm.

From dwm I can access the web interface, shell, and everything else I need.

Single PC setup.

Nvidia open drivers.

Wayland has rendering glitches (most notably with steam) and X11 has constant micro-flickering that kills my eyes.

The only thing that shouldn't have anything to do with it was the NVMe.

Wiped clean several times over with sanitization and several linux installs, but it's the only old part, and only tie-in.

They don't.

Just went through another round of Proxmox-> NixOS-> EndeavourOS-> Windows11, because of Nvidia.

I upgraded everything except one NVMe.

Also read what I actually wrote. Full offline installs always.

And linux would be an option except Nvidia.
