A linux distro on a Proxmox VM to host VS Code Server for web access. Chose Omarchy because I don't have any other use for the integrated GPU on my single node Proxmox machine.

VM specs:

• 2 CPU cores (host has i5 with 4 cores)
• 16GB memory (out of 32GB)
• 100GB disk
• Display: Virtu???
• Added PCI device: integrated GPU
• Mapped Thinkpad Trackpoint USB device to VM (with trackball)

Enable sshd

sudo systemctl enable sshd
sudo systemctl start sshd
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw reload
sudo ufw status
sudo tailscale set --ssh

This is consumer grade hardware and swapping seemed to cause massive degradation of performance. It is not strictly necessary for always on system. Suspend and hibernated are disabled, althoug I believe they would use a different swap disk.

sudo systemctl --type swap
sudo systemctl mask --now dev-zram0.swap

Uninstall zram-generator

nano ~/.config/hypr/looknfeel.conf

Add:

windowrule = opaque on, match:class ^(.*)$

It automatically reloads on save

Install hyprmon and choose to mirror displays on TUI. I'm sure this can be done in some config file too.

nano ~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf

Set Virtual Display size to match physical display (1080p):

monitor= Virtual-1,1920x1080@60,auto,1

Didn't figure out how to change resolution for Virtual display without restarting the machine.

Dropbox required restarting the machince before I could connect it to my account.

No need to sync all files from Dropbox into a VM disk
