@Christoph-Hart thanks... but in todays other UB thread I discover my OS will need a major uplift too....

[Christoph Hart]

@Lindon FYI, I also upgraded my MacMini 2018 i7 from Mojave to Monterey and the entire build process worked smoothly.

I gotta get you guys on the Proxmox train. My PC has virtually every OS on it.

@dustbro How does it compare with QEMU?

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey QEMU is a type 2 hypervisor, so it runs virtual machines within another OS to perform it's emulation. Proxmox is a type 1 hypervisor which essentially divides up the actual hardware on the system and gives it to a specific virtual machine. You'll have near-bare metal performance with Type 1.

@dustbro What's the advantage of type 1 over dual/multi booting? Is it that it can emulate different architectures?

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey The biggest advantage over dual/multi boot is the ability to use multiple OS simultaneously. On my rig I can render GUI on my Win VM while exporting VST on my Mac VM while tinkering with DSP on my Linux VM. You can use GPU passthru to port each VM to their own monitor, or access them via web interface. System backups and snapshots are automated.
My favorite usage is to create "virgin" machines to test with. That way you can see how your projects function on a system independent of your design rig.

@dustbro Sounds like I'll have to get familiar with this

@d-healey I'll return the favor and make a video :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
