  1. I don't actually need the parity functionality of unRAID on this machine. All of my important files are stored on or copied to my dedicated server. I'm not so sure unRAID would be able to passthrough the GPU to a VM if it wasn't the host in a shared kernel situation anyway, so unRAID would be running all the time. Did switching unRAID to on-board require a reboot?
  2. I should be able to have unRAID and Arch Linux sharing the same kernel with chroot, something I've done in the past when working with two distributions. Unless, of course, Docker functions in a similar way. Picking up a relatively inexpensive GTX 950 as a second graphics card is always an option if those options don't allow me to use on-board graphics though. I'm mostly concerned with being able to use both Arch Linux and Windows simultaneously without having to reboot Arch Linux in order for Windows to steal the graphics card when it starts up.
  3. unRAID Community, I currently use Arch Linux exclusively for my gaming, programming, work, and general computer needs. While most of my games are native to Linux, wine has been instrumental in ensuring I'm able to play any non-native games that I consider worth the effort. I've decided to move my non-native gaming needs to KVM and studied many guides toward that end. While I'm certain I could figure out how to make that all work the way I want, the prospect of paying for convenience appeals to me here. My goal is to have Arch Linux up on both of my monitors with full access to my GTX 980 Ti for gaming. When I launch Windows for a non-native game, I'd like it to take the graphics card and one monitor while Arch Linux switches to on-board graphics and the other monitor. I don't mind switching inputs manually on the monitor at that time, but I should have some way of using both systems in this state. If additional hardware is required to make this work, I'm fine with that. Will unRAID allow me to do all of this more easily? Here is a full part list of my new system for reference.
