What I mean is that I run proxmox predominantly so I don’t have to run Windows on my hardware.


Isn't that what this post is about? Creating a ChromeOS Flex VM that can then run in Proxmox?


Proxmox is generally run in a client-server arrangement where Proxmox and its VMs are on a server somewhere and users connect from a lightweight (probably browser) client. So the idea is that the device you use directly is a Chromebook acting as essentially a thin client, and then your real work happens in VMs on proxmox. Notably, those VMs can include Windows while containing it and not having to deal with Windows on hardware. (And I mean yes you could have a Chromebook thin client connecting to a server running a different instance of ChromeOS... and I can see ways for that to be useful, even... but that's not the idea being espoused here.)


How do you run Proxmox on ChromeOS?


I don’t. I run proxmox on my other laptop so I can use chromeos and manage vms via the http interface. :)
