Well… You would be surprised ;)
It’s not « THAT » complicated, except that currently we are in a
country in crisis and buying a laptop only for that is currently
overkill. We had a tech machine there, but had to use it for a point
of sale.
Personally I would avoid installing a full Desktop environment on the PVE
hosts
No choice. If it’s discouraged, then I won’t insist.

I’m not really looking for connecting a serial console, but would have
liked an access to the desktop manager of a VM, as if it was possible
to redirect the keyboard/video/mouse of my KVM console to an actual
VM.
As Yannis said, it seems to overcomplicate things. Then we will wait a
budget to buy a mini-pc and install it with the desktop we want.
BTW, I take advantage of the discussion about the serial port. In
Congo it’s hard to find an original serial-to-usb cable to plug our
PBX to one of our VMs. Prolific made an update and all our cables are
not working anymore. This was the only way to easily plug our RS232
PBX to a VM.
While waiting to find an original converter, is there a way to
redirect a serial port (/dev/ttyS0) to a Windows VM, creating a COM
port connected to the linux serial port?
i use one of these.

The device gets an ip addres in a dedicated lan for serial port servers.
an tcp/ip port is mapped to a serial port.
so you can have many vm's with 1 serial each, or multiple serial ports
on some vm's
there is downloadable software for linux and windows. or you can use a
opensource standardized tool on linux called socat.
you can get them in various sizes depending on need.
optinally you can make your own using a software called ser2net if you
have a raspberrypi or similar micro machine.
kind regards
