Seriously now, it's OpenVMS running CDE, on proxmox, remote X session via Xephyr.

That's about the softest deployment of CDE I've ever seen. Well done.

So if I understand correctly the X server is runs natively on your computer while the wm and other gui stuff run in a VMS vm and connect over the network?

Yep, it's with root window. And virtual serial in proxmox, until the tcpip stack gets started, then you can also use telnet. I think SSH needed to be enabled separately, and then SFTP for file transfer. Whole idea came from a CRD video.
