The latter. You can move it there while still keeping it virtualized.

It's really up to you. There's benefits and drawbacks to both. If your desire is to reduce power consumption, then it's quite likely the miniPC is your better option. But when you run as a VM, it makes administration stuff easier.

#

But, depending on the specs of the minipc in question, you could possibly have the best of both worlds.

#

by running it in a VM on the miniPC.

I don't see the reason for that. PCI passthrough is a lot harder and error prone. What hypervisor do you use?

#

Ah. Unfortunately I have no experience with that or xen in general. I can only tell you that it works fine with Proxmox VE. I can't imagine it would be much different for yours.

ChatGPT and other "AI" systems do a fantastic job of generating well structured, convincing looking answers... that are either totally garbage or, if you're lucky, have subtle flaws. Don't use them to "help" others, and don't use them yourself.

There's USB and PCI variants.
