+Here are the updated VM creation commands with recommended settings:
+
+Debian 12 VM (ID: 500):
+```bash
+qm create 500 --name debian-12 --memory 2048 --cores 2 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --net1 virtio,bridge=vmbr1
+qm importdisk 500 debian-12-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2 local-lvm
+qm set 500 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-500-disk-0
+qm set 500 --boot c --bootdisk scsi0
+qm set 500 --serial0 socket --vga serial0
+qm set 500 --agent enabled=1
+qm resize 500 scsi0 +8G
+qm set 500 --ipconfig0 ip=dhcp
+qm set 500 --ipconfig1 ip=dhcp
+qm set 500 --onboot 1
+qm set 500 --startup order=1
+```
+
+Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop VM (ID: 600):
+```bash
+qm create 600 --name ubuntu-22-04-desktop --memory 4096 --cores 2 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --net1 virtio,bridge=vmbr1
+qm importdisk 600 ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.qcow2 local-lvm
+qm set 600 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-600-disk-0
+qm set 600 --boot c --bootdisk scsi0
+qm set 600 --serial0 socket --vga qxl
+qm set 600 --agent enabled=1,fstrim_cloned_disks=1
+qm resize 600 scsi0 +32G
+qm set 600 --ipconfig0 ip=dhcp
+qm set 600 --ipconfig1 ip=dhcp
+qm set 600 --onboot 1
+qm set 600 --startup order=2
+```
+
+Rocky Linux 9 VM (ID: 700):
+```bash
+qm create 700 --name rocky-linux-9 --memory 2048 --cores 2 --net0 virtio,bridge=vmbr0 --net1 virtio,bridge=vmbr1
+qm importdisk 700 rocky-linux-9-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2 local-lvm
+qm set 700 --scsihw virtio-scsi-pci --scsi0 local-lvm:vm-700-disk-0
+qm set 700 --boot c --bootdisk scsi0
+qm set 700 --serial0 socket --vga serial0
+qm set 700 --agent enabled=1
+qm resize 700 scsi0 +8G
+qm set 700 --ipconfig0 ip=dhcp
+qm set 700 --ipconfig1 ip=dhcp
+qm set 700 --onboot 1
+qm set 700 --startup order=3
+```
+
+Changes made:
+- Increased memory for all VMs to accommodate desktop environments and applications.
+- Added `--agent enabled=1` to enable the QEMU Guest Agent for better VM management and performance.
+- Added `fstrim_cloned_disks=1` for the Ubuntu VM to optimize disk space usage on cloned disks.
+- Increased disk size for the Ubuntu VM to 32GB to accommodate desktop applications and user data.
+- Set `--vga qxl` for the Ubuntu VM to provide better graphics performance for the desktop environment.
+- Added `--onboot 1` to enable automatic start on boot for all VMs.
+- Set startup order for the VMs using `--startup order=X` to control the boot sequence.
+
+Remember to replace the paths to the disk images (`debian-12-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2`, `ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.qcow2`, and `rocky-linux-9-genericcloud-amd64.qcow2`) with the actual paths to your respective VM disk images.
+
+These updated commands create VMs with recommended settings for memory, cores, disk size, guest agent, graphics, and boot options to ensure optimal performance and management capabilities in a Proxmox VE environment.
