I'm extensively looking to setting up gaming on linux inside a VM on proxmox VE. But nothing i've tried worked.

I'm trying out bunch of games through Steam and its proton compatibility layer. Games I tried:

Sekiro
Elden Ring
Dark Souls 3

I've tried:

Manjaro KDE
Bazzite

on VM:

I was successfully install Windows 10 inside a VM and run games on there. By following this reddit post

But on any linux VM attempts, games can go 'starting' but back to 'launch' in a few seconds. It just fails...

I just want to know if anybody has ever successfully done this:D

Are you passing through a GPU? If so, are you sure the proxmox host isn't using it?

Edit: Just saw the link in the post was to a GPU passthrough guide, so better question, do you see the GPU from within the VM?

I've admittedly never tried gaming on a linux VM or LXC in proxmox, but I've done other tasks that required GPU hardware acceleration with no issues with both.
