Are we forced to use the DGX OS on DGX Spark as host; or we can install things like a Proxmox VE (arm64 version) without manually hunting drivers around?

Proxmox VE lack offical ARM64 support, so even if I’m wondering the same, I do believe it’s better don’t mess around the OS trying to run Proxmox VE on this kind of machine.
Hi Wingenlit, DGX OS is the tested and supported operating system for Spark. You’re welcome to try other packages, but if you need support or hardware triage later, you’ll likely need to revert to DGX OS so we have a known baseline.
@wingenlit Pay everyone else no mind. It won’t be as seamless as the official support x86 Proxmox, but you can most definitely install something like GitHub - jiangcuo/pxvirt: A fork of Proxmox VE for ARM and LoongArch architectures , then run ARM64 VMs – even a DGX OS VM.
Before you take that journey, you should see if the pre-installed DGX OS can fulfill your needs. I have not used it, but it is a fork of Ubuntu, so I imagine there is native virtualization functionality, such as Canonical’s LXD (Ubuntu’s play on LXC, such as in Proxmox), or something similar.
Regardless, just about anything is doable on a Linux OS., it’s up to you to decide if it’s worth the inevitable pain in your butt it’s going to be to achieve it.
