A Proxmox remote Linux desktop with real GPU use
CachyOS Linux is running as a desktop on Proxmox VE, with a physical NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card assigned to it. The aim is to use a real Linux desktop remotely, with proper graphics speed instead of a basic virtual screen. The machine runs headless, so no monitor is plugged into it directly.
Access happens through GNOME . The setup uses CachyOS x86_64, GNOME 50.2, Wayland, and Mutter. The Proxmox VE host runs KVM/QEMU, and the has 4 virtual CPUs from an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G, about 12 GB of memory, and about 192 GB of disk space.
It is used as a remote Linux workstation for testing desktop setups, managing homelab services, and experimenting with .
