This seems very cool and I will probably try it, but I think I’m missing something. I run Proxmox so that I can have multiple VMs running on my NUC. This doesn’t really solve that right? I cant spin up a windows 11 vm one weekend for a random experiment.

It sounds like all his containers are Linux, so that's why Incus is such a good fit for him. For your use case, yeah, proxmox is likely a better fit.

This small project makes running Windows on Incus a breeze: https://github.com/antifob/incus-windows

Incus is roughly a frontend for qemu, so you can launch an empty VM and use the ISO to install the OS. You don't have to use a preconfigured base image.

I think incus can be a frontend for qemu, but it's primary mode of operating is to run containers. It's a fork of LXD.

		VM support has been there for quite a while now and works nicely. I think that's what they're referring to. It started out with only system containers and then gained support for VMs and now there's work to support launching OCI images directly.
