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.
