    No? Windows is installed as a VM in Proxmox, as I’ve mentioned couple times already.

    I do config Proxmox also from Windows, but I need to go back to the barebone Proxmox in case the VM has issues.

    Anyhow, this was about dwm alternatives.

    I mostly use win11 as my main os, and using proxmox as a base lets me properly use things like pihole, homeassistant, nextcloud, and other such services, because Windows really sucks for virtualizing those.

    And OS hopping is a lot easier when I have a backend like proxmox.

    Want to try arch but not sure if nvidia/wayland support is there yet? Roll up a gpu-p’d VM for it, instead of wiping the entire disk.

    Edit: To further elaborate on what I have setup.

    1. Go through the typical proxmox install.
    2. Get debian up to date.
    3. Add Librewolf’s sources.
    4. apt install picom lightdm dwm librewolf
    5. Reboot.
    6. Login to dwm via lightdm, and open up librewolf.
    7. Navigate to the web ui.
    8. Add W11 VM image to storage.
    9. Create a W11 VM.
    10. Install W11 via VNC.
    11. GPU-P + USB Passthrough to W11.
    12. You’re now in Windows.

    Commented on this twice already, so see those replies;

    I’m using the web ui, I just need to use it from dwm on the same system for the initial master vm configuration.

    After I have gpu-p and such configured, I can access the web ui from inside the vm.

    The question was though what other options than dwm would be more fit for me, and what’s available on debian/proxmox.

    Because while dwm is lightweight like i3, awesome, bspwm, etc, it’s not a great fit right now.
