Is this something specific to proxmox or non-mac hosted virtualization? I ask because I regularly run MacOS without GPU passthrough without any UI slowdowns at all. In fact, at one point I ran macOS in a VM as the primary UI on my MacBook for several years..
- monkey_monkey 6y agoI tried running MacOS as a guest OS using VMWare Fusion a while back (2 or 3 years), and my recollection is that all the UI stuff (drag/drop, transitions, etc) were super slow. This was on a late 2013 though, so the experience may be very different now, in fact now that I've replaced it with a 2020 iMac, I'll give it another go and see.
- m463 6y agoI have a main mac desktop, and "uploaded" my macbook into proxmox near the start of the pandemic. I just use mac to mac screen sharing to get to it and it works wonderfully. If you don't know, screen sharing is done very well - it does very intelligent things, such as drag and drop files from desktop to desktop or rich-text copy/paste between systems. It will also pass keys correctly, so command-q will quit a remote app instead of quitting the screen sharing app itself. same with alt-tab. I used to use screen sharing with the macbook itself, but it kept going to sleep with the lid closed at inopportune times even with caffeinate, so I just cut to the chase. I also was able to migrate the macos vm when I upgraded my proxmox machine hardware. "vzdump <vmid>", copy the dumpfile, "qmrestore <dumpfile> <vmid>", voila
