How is this easier than OSX-KVM? I can't imagine how proxmox is easier (or better for most use-cases I can think of) than qemu. EDIT: Script just immediately tries to apt-get stuff. Nah. Oh lord and then helps itself to editting your apt sources. (All just to get git? How odd.) Before downloading another un-tagged/un-versioned link and excuting it. Nah nah nah.

It’s much less of a pain when passthrough is involved, FWIW.

curling some random install script from some domain I've never heard of and is possibly unrelated to this GitHub repo? great! what could possibly go wrong?

  sudo /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://install.jiatan.cn)"
What could possibly go wring?

Proxmox is QEMU, but with GUI and lot of infra stuff.

Why? How? Especially if Proxmox is just using qemu under the hood?

Because I can manage it in a relatively understandable web interface and not have to deal with a bunch of config files. It's also significantly easier than Hackintoshing the machine, which is what I did previously.

I see you're a nixos enthusiast, so I take it you enjoy config files. I just like having a machine I don't have to think about.
