  but you can do everything without it.

  yes but why would you? There’s a reason we use GUIs, especially when new to a field (like virtualization).

    libvirt comes with some gui tool of its own, though I haven’t used it. I generally prefer to understand what I’m doing, so I use command line tools or API’s at first. GUI’s are a convenience to use later, once it’s clear how they work.

    Once you get to know the GUI well enough and start scripting, the GUI becomes less relevant.

  It’s got more than just VM management, but yeah, it’s a frontend for a bunch of other services, that you don’t need Proxmox for.

  This is untrue, proxmox is not a wrapper around libvirt. It has it’s own API and it’s own methods of running VM’s.
