Qubes-Lite with KVM and Wayland

So like, you are using Proxmox as your main OS/desktop? And then doing application (eg firefox for browsing, etc) things in in proxmox LXC containers?

If so, that is pretty interesting...

Although, using LXD with Ubuntu is totally painless and easy as well..

Actually, it went sort of like this:

I used qubes as a desktop os, but it was a little clunky. Like the copy/paste or moving stuff between the vms.

But the main problem was I couldn't ssh INTO the qubes machine, and I couldn't really run server kinds of things (though maybe it was possible to dig into the networking and the firewall vm).

When I tried proxmox, it was more set up for server kinds of things. For example, all the VMs showed up as machines on my local network. I started to make it a desktop, but then backed off. I decided to leave the debian main os vanilla. Instead I made it a server. And I got away from VMs and use containers.

I do have a macos vm that I remote into though. It's a copy of my laptop which I haven't used as much the last year.
