I'm looking for virtualization-based desktop Linux setup in c/linux@lemmy.ml

That's what I'm thinking about but I think that OpenSUSE or Fedora might be too much bloated. Someone recommended AlmaLinux and I think that might be a great solution.

What? I'm looking for minimal setup but for desktop use (by this I mean machine which I'll be using as my workstation), not for a server. I don't think that Proxmox will be minimal option for this purpose when it have features which I don't need at all because the software on it is primarily designed for remotely controlled servers. For example I don't need WebUI function, instead I need simple desktop environment to manage my machines directly from a machine. Of course I can install desktop environment on it but why when it have completely different use case?

I heard that Proxmox is great server solution but how about desktop?

I love virtualization in Linux and I would like to have operating system which will work only as minimal, air-gapped as much is possible host for my guest operating systems. Qubes OS project really interested me but it's based on Xen hypervisor so it might cause troubles with GPU Passthrough which is really important for me also I'm more interested in KVM. In my case it's not only about security and privacy but also about fun and learning. What can you recommend? I think that good choice might be Gentoo Linux because it allows for minimal installation and remove unnecessary software like CUPS, Bluetooth entirely with flags which will be great option for host only OS. But I had experience with Gentoo and it's not easiest way 😅 Debian might be easier option but I will have less control over my system. Maybe you have other interesting options?
