GUI on a Linux server (lemmy.world)

My home server is a Proxmox machine with some VM one of which is Open Media Vault from which a Windows PC plays videos to my TV. I want to get rid of the Windows PC and connect the TV directly to the server with an HDMI+USB RJ45 extender, but...how do I get a GUI from it? Is it even possible? I would need to connect to a Windows VM because for what I know Netflix only plays 4K videos with Edge. Thanks!

You could install something like jellyfin on server side and if your tv has web browser by any chance you could watch stuff like that. Otherwise you can install a normal desktop environment like kde or xfce on server side.
