              So got a Plex VM, Win10 VM, Firewall VM on my proxmox server.

              Also managed to get a Win10 VM running with GPU pass through using a AMD HD7000 for a test. Seems OK so far.
              If it goes well will maybe invest in a slightly better GPU

                Researching laptops. Mine is 6 years old and is struggling. Thinking of going with Fedora or Ubuntu and having a Windows 10 VM for managing Hyper-V, etc. There are too many choices. Looking at Dell and HP. A friend is pushing me towards Lenovo but I don't think I want to take that route.

                  Give System76 a look. I just got a Lemur Pro to replace my old Lemur, and I'm pleased with it so far.

                    We don't hawk Lenovo around these parts every since SuperFish.

                      There are some how to guides about using GPU pass through for Plex.

                          We manage Hyper-V from Linux, works fine.

                            Never liked Lenovo, not sure why really but just don't like the looks/build or the reliability.
                            Personally prefer Dell, then HP

                              @hobbit666 I've always had a good experience with Dell and HP. My current laptop is a Probook 635 and it has given me zero problems. I did an SSD swap and maxed out the RAM, but it is just under-powered now for my needs. One feature I will miss on the newer models is the serial port. I don't use it often, but it has saved me more than a few times. I hate carrying dongles and adapters for everything.

                                  a few of my customers use Email on a daily basis to communicate with us , Not a big deal right?
                                  Well One in particular has decided that's the only way he will communicate with us.

                                  I just got an email 30 minutes ago. : ......... "oh and this is an emergency, the entire site is down."

                                  Nope, must not be an emergency. You're emailing me rather than Calling.

                                  Anyone else deal with people like this?

                                    On a daily basis. I've tried to explain 911's require a phone call as I am not constantly in email, at my desk, or have a communication device directly in my hand or driving.

                                    Mostly goes in one ear and out the other, or should I say "eye" for that matter.

                                      System76 comes with Linux on it. Also MSI or Asus gaming machines are good too. Just order without ssd and get your own storage to put whatever OS you want on it.

                                            We manage Hyper-V from Linux, works fine.

                                            What do you use for console access to your VMs from Linux?

                                            Most Hyper-V that we have to manage is from shops that want a GUI always, so there is a GUI on the Hyper-V desktop. So MeshCentral like everything else. Super simple.

                                            The thing about Hyper-V is that the situations that make you choose it over KVM or Xen almost universally cause it to have a GUI locally, too. So no need for Windows for remote access at all.
