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

You need to use uefi instead of bios per your screenshot
You need to pass through a GPU to your VM otherwise its all running with software 3d acceleration.

It may seem very complicated to configure but you should be fine if you follow the directions on the pve wiki.
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.
I’ve passed through my GPU for acceleration purposes which has worked pretty well. I don’t see a passed-through GPU in your screenshot. I’ll assume you turned on the correct IOMMU and SR-IOV settings, added the PCI:E hardware to that VM, and made sure it showed up inside the guest OS?
