Home Assistant, Ubuntu/Kodi 18.x on a NUC

I want to use my NUC7i5 to run Home Assistant and I want to run KODI on the same NUC. Unfortunately, I need to run KODI 18.x and only KODI 17.x is supported on Debian so putting a desktop on Proxmox doesn’t help…I need Ubuntu. I’ve been trying to work with Proxmox…two VM’s, one for HA, the other for Ubuntu/KODI but a NUC has only one graphics adapter which is grabbed by Proxmox. I need the graphics adapter assigned to the Ubuntu/KODI VM. I’ve tried everything I can find to get graphics pass thru working with no success.

I’m thinking that maybe Proxmox isn’t the answer…maybe I should be using ESXI or virtualbox or ??? but I’d appreiate advice on which way to go…or some clear help on how to get graphics assigned to a VM using proxmox.
