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.

Proxmox runs KVM/Qemu in the backend, so it’s essentially the same thing. OP might want to have a machine in their rack they use for remote gaming for example.
Also don’t use VirtualBox.
It sounded like OP wanted to install Proxmox on their main PC, which would imply using it as a daily driver desktop OS, which it isn’t.
It is not but more like a building block for my daily driver.
I plan to use Proxmox VE to build a virtual infrastructure in one machine. It will have many VMs running and one of it would be my daily driver.
Ah okay, that makes more sense.
What is wrong with using virtualbox?
It’s subpar, closed source, kernel module installing, type 2 virtualization that makes users believe VMs are slow, when in fact Type 1 hypervisors usually achieve near 98% efficiency. And too boot it means that open-source projects like
virt-managerdon’t get the usership they deserve and need to continue being maintained.There is legit not a single reason to use it on Linux, and there hasn’t been in well over a decade.
