Catalina on the desktop proxmox?
If that's my OpenCore ISO, I rechecked High Sierra recently with v18 and it boots fine.

Bare Metal vs Virtualization dual boot
The mid/hard way would be to have a powerful PC like I did recently, switch to Linux as the host, and use it as your main OS and then for specific stuff, turn on the Windows or OSX machines. The problem here is that you have to deal with Linux and its quirks... editing files with the terminal, sudo, setting up QEMU, editing the libvirt XML files (or create your own bash scripts for QEMU) and so on... It feels like a hassle sometimes, and getting OSX to work in a virtual environment is a hit or miss - there's a few projects out there that can help) but then getting them to work is like running a command and having it contained in its own "window" and you can also share files between the host and the VM almost seamlessly.

MacOS VENTURA boot error: Panic diags file unavailable (AMD Ryzen 5900X + Gigabyte B550 Vision D-P + AMD RX580)
The (test) EFI Folder for Ventura comes from the current installation for Big Sur (as told you before, it is fully working with my new RX580 card as well), with the new kernel patch applied along with the core count setting, see: https://github.com/AMD-OSX/AMD_Vanilla

Ryzentosh ~ Ventura 13.3 ~ Ryzen 5 5600x ~ RX 5600XT ~ B550 ~ OC 0.9.1 ~
When adding the AMD kernel Patches i enabled the Shaneee's fix PAT patch and disabled Algrey's This resulted on a HUGE boost on OpenCL score in Geekbench 6 (from 16600 to 56400). As a measure i took CS Go game .. before was almost playable with 60-70 FPS. After enabling Shaneee's patch FPS went up to 300 with an average 260FPS. https://github.com/AMD-OSX/AMD_Vanilla

Low Geekbench Score under macOS - RX 580 4GB
Check if you have the fix PAT patch from Shaneee enabled (and Algrey's disabled). It will improve GPU performance but don't get too fixated on scores. :) Latest AMD cpu patches here.
