I must agree with aceindy, even thou it’s with mixed feelings, however i have tried Proxmox, and beside the lack of GUI, then Proxmox ain’t that straight forward when installing various OS, add disks etc. etc. and maintenance etc.
So spite the fact that Windows(Microsoft) from time to time force reboot of a device, and in my opinion have to many “restart-updates” … thou HA has actually become even worse, in that matter.
HA in VMWare Player is very stable, easy USB support/bridging, of all or individual and Bluetooth etc, very easy to maintain, backup etc. … And for that matter, with suggested 4/8 Core-(8-threads) , one can even install an Android, and a Linux w/Apache in 2 other separate VM’s
But buying a new 4-8core/8threads 8 / 16 GB-Ram isn’t cheap, thou there are lots of used/older laptops with these specs ( with laptop you also get the monitor, keyboard and battery-backup ) , and they are quit silence
