Proxmox Hypervisor, vCPU, RAM... etc

[Stephen Partington]

So. Proxmox under the hood is Debian. Virtualization only allow you to
stack workloads proxmox has an extra layer of being set up to run
containers as well as vms. That can run lean and share resources better.
Bet part of this is you can install it on anything you can install Debian
on. They even have docs on how to install x windows and run it as you a
daily workstation as well as VM host.
