  • They can technically but you will run into all sorts of problems. A Server is usually on all the time while a general purpose computer only periodically. There are two routes I see how you might get this to work:

    • If you use more of the general purpose PC: Just run a Type 2 hypervisor like virtualbox on your normal desktop OS and run all your server stuff in there. You can also run Proxmox inside virtualbox. This is called nested virtualization.
    • If you prefer to learn more virtualization: Run Proxmox, then run your preferred Desktop OS as a virtual machine inside Proxmox and pass through your GPU, mouse and Keyboard. This is called PCI/USB passthrough

    Both approaches take a lot of ram (I recommend at least 16 GB).

    Hope this helps :)

    I do not believe that is the case. Mainly because of their questionable choices. Things like their great Firewall, which also censors political topics that the government does not approve or the perseution of certain ethnic groups. I don’t belive a majority of the people would want to do things like that.

    The specific problem with both systems is that they are controlled by a central entity. Sounds harmless enough on a first glance. However, this also means that whoever owns/controls this system, can control a lot of people very effectively. This could be used for good but is instead mostly used to keep people in line.

    This makes it easy for a single person/small group to control an entire nation, which I think is a bad thing.
