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

  • Don’t know much about proxmox, but I know that Hyper-V tries to create every VM with Secure Boot turned on, and every Linux distro I’ve tried won’t boot the installer like that.

    Maybe double check the settings of the VM.
