I am trying to install and setup proxmox on laptop and use it as daily driver. I want to make network setup that can use both ethernet and WiFi, whichever is available and i want VMs to be able to access LAN because some things dont work otherwise (like NDI). I have writen config file that makes 2 bridges and every VM would have 2 interfaces. I havent installed Proxmox yet because i dont want to mess things up (it wouldn’t be first time :) ). My question is does this config look ok and are there some recomendations.
/etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Ethernet interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
# WiFi interface
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
# Ethernet bridge
auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
# WiFi bridge
auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet dhcp
bridge_ports wlan0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
I have thought about that, but Proxmox already has built-in a lot of things for virtualization and managing VMs and has less bloat because it has only one purpose.

It’s still the wrong tool for the job though.
As others have said get a regular desktop os and enable qemu.
libvirt/virt-manager is a nice VM management tool.
