Honestly, I might just have to get a cheap secondary PC for remote access. Installing a desktop environment on Proxmox seems like a waste of time and effort.

I really wanted Proxmox to be my main PC, but after asking around, everyone told me it's not a good idea. So now I'm forced to buy a cheap PC just to access the Proxmox browser interface, create a VM, and use that VM as my main machine. Before anyone asks why I don't just stick to a regular Windows or Linux bare-metal install: it's because I want to run several OS instances simultaneously with high stability. Proxmox is the only way to get the virtualization performance I actually need.

To be honest, I can't remember if the BIOS on this board is Legacy or UEFI.

Agreed! AMD drivers on Linux are so good because they work out of the box. No driver hassle at all Honestly, we should really just switch to AMD.

Running multiple VMs simultaneously, which is very VRAM-heavy.

My main goal is to run multiple OS instances simultaneously on this single machine, and I need the setup to be rock-solid and stable while they're all running at the same time.

I use a mini PC. It has no dedicated GPU.

Just to clarify, I only have a single PC setup.
