Since using #Proxmox in my #HomeLab , I rarely run VMs on my workstation Pc anymore. Even for small testing machines #Proxmox is so much better! How are you running your VMs at Home?

In IT, investing free time to learn and experiment is crucial. Setting up a #homelab is one of the best ways to do it. Do you agree?
