Proxmox on a desktop isn't just an oddball experiment — it can be a practical, powerful way to run multiple daily-driver operating systems, consolidate services, and treat a single PC like a small home lab. In real-world testing, Proxmox makes switching between Windows and Linux seamless...

If your Windows 11 PC crashes or freezes, the first few minutes of triage matter more than you think—capturing clues quickly, avoiding needless hardware swaps, and following a measured sequence of checks will usually get you back to a stable system without panic. The four core actions covered...

My Windows 11 virtual machine on Proxmox is the quiet workhorse of my home lab — the one instance I rely on every day for development, testing, and occasional GPU-accelerated adventures. Background / Overview Running a Windows 11 VM as a primary development environment on Proxmox VE (PVE) is no...

WinBoat arrives as one of the clearest attempts yet to bridge the Windows-on-Linux gap by running a full Windows environment inside a lightweight Docker container and exposing apps to the Linux desktop as (nearly) native windows. Background WinBoat is an open‑source project from TibixDev that...

Installing Windows 11 on Proxmox is eminently doable, but it’s not the “select ISO and click next” experience many users expect — you’ll need additional ISOs, a UEFI firmware, a virtual TPM, and the correct VirtIO drivers at the right step in the installer to get a clean, performant VM...

Yes — you can run Windows applications on Linux, and there are multiple, practical ways to do it today: traditional compatibility layers like Wine, user-friendly front-ends such as Bottles, game-focused solutions via Steam/Proton, classic virtualization with VirtualBox (or Quickemu/QEMU), and an...

Virtual machines are nothing mystical—yet a small stack of persistent myths keeps turning otherwise sensible choices into needless fear, wasted money, or fragile setups that break at the worst moment. The five misconceptions below are the ones most likely to trip up hobbyists, home-labbers, and...

Running high-end games on a virtual machine might once have sounded ludicrous to even the most seasoned system tinkerers, but recent advances in virtualization, hardware, and optimized software tools are rewriting the rules for home lab enthusiasts and power users. For many, the transition from...

Few experiences push the boundaries of both practicality and technical curiosity like the quest to turn virtual machines from specialized tools into genuine daily drivers. For many in the Windows enthusiast and home lab community, laying hands on the likes of Proxmox is an invitation to...

Few stories in the computing world capture the complex evolution of Microsoft's relationship with open source like the saga of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). With the company's recent move to open-source “almost everything” in WSL, this announcement represents both a technical milestone...

Proxmox: the open-source swiss army knife of virtualization, often whispered about by IT pros in dim server rooms and meme-laden forums alike, has recently been thrust further into the limelight thanks to a growing chorus of enthusiasts. If you’ve ever wondered whether running Windows 11 inside...

I've seen a lot of people asking how to run Deepseek (and LLM models in general) in docker, linux, windows, proxmox you name it... So I decided to make a detailed video about this subject. And not just the popular DeepSeek, but also uncensored models (such as Dolphin Mistral for example) which...

As Windows enthusiasts and virtualization aficionados, you may find yourself wanting to leverage the full power of your graphics card within a virtual machine. This article provides a comprehensive guide on setting up GPU passthrough for a Windows 11 virtual machine (VM) using Proxmox. Despite...
