Yeah but OTOH I’ve just set up a vm host + guest on a N100 minipc for home assistant (migrating from a bare metal pi 4) and while I’m happy with the result, I’ve spent more hours than I’d like or planned to get it working reliably vs click ‘make a vm please’ and have it waiting for an ssh connection after a coffee break.
(Started with proxmox but the installer’s kernel doesn’t have the Ethernet driver and they don’t provide WiFi because it’s stupid for the installed system - but they allow upgrading to a kernel which supports my adapter, so got a bit catch 22’d. Moved to Ubuntu server that would stop booting after creating a bridge interface because ‘waiting for network. no timeout’ and then a few more interesting issues.)
