I'm pretty sure it's the proxmox that is making it weird.
My work revolves around using Win11. I have a 3rd screen dedicated to Mint so I can easily switch between systems without much effort.
I think the issue is Spice. It runs the quickest with almost zero lag, but my mouse isn't perfect. RDP works but there is input lag. I guess I can try another VNC to see if things improve.
I build your solution some time ago and wasn't impressed, too.
I actually run fedora on work an virtualized my win partition with "p2v" into a cow2 file. Now if I need windows I run it via qemu.
My work is 70% Windows, 20% Mac, 10% Linux. I manage website optimization and use the different systems for testing.
Why do you like Fedora more?
If you get a reasonable amount of downtime off of work, you might be able to set up Mint and run Windows in a VM if you really need to. I feel like that might work better. I'm not sure though as I haven't virtualised an OS in years.
If the problem is spice it might still be a problem though.
That's not a bad idea. Would I just run wine for the VM?
Ya I guess I can try using RDP or some other VNC. Might be better than using Spice.
GNU/Linux has VM platforms too. But you can run individual things in WINE and see if they work too. I think GNOME Boxes works fine. I'm not sure if it would suit your needs but you can try it.
Thank you!
