Thanks, that helps, consistent with my understanding so far.
Have a specific use case to satisfy: using NoMachine to work with Proxmox guest vms
Proxmox is a Linux hypervisor, somewhat similar to Virtualbox but is installed as headless host and offers a browser based administration.
One needs to get graphical access to guest vms – either Windows VM or Ubuntu desktop VM.
One solution seems to be “GPU passthrough”: GPU cards are made available to VMs, either wholly or … piecewise
There are many articles

One key application is for software development work (using an IDE, for example) but also for high quality video calls.
Trying to decide between GPU passthrough and using NoMachine on guest VM (server) and Proxmox host (client) (could install a thin display and window manager …)

Read the articles you recommended above about how hardware based encoding and decoding are done and wondering if the NoMachine solution makes sense, especially given that encoding & decoding would happen on same machine hardware, just to cross the guest VM / host virtualization layer.
Any thoughts please?
I believe the combination between Proxmox and NoMachine can share a nice market niche.
