Has anybody successfully linux-gamed on proxmox VE? - eviltoast

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.
