Multi os only

[Shvonder]

Hi all

I planning build multy os pc.

1 GPU

1 CPU

1 sound from motherboard

1 keyboard

1 mice

2 monitors

 OK, how can i use Linux and windows for gaming same time with different, separated monitors?

For Linux i guess should be integrated gpu.

For windows Nvidia gpu.

And i have only 2 HDDs... i don't need parity... i have a nas already for storage my files.

So... i want use one HDD for windows and another one for Linux...

Could some of you explain me, how can i build this system using unraid???

Hi and welcome to the forum.

 

Before we begin, do you have any experience with unraid?

 

What you want can be done quite easy but it's not something we can simply list as a few steps.

 

I see you're talking about re-using your hdd's... It is possible to run VM's on hdd's but it is highly recommended to store them on ssd's.

 

Check spaceinvaderone's youtube channel to start with.

Thx for answer,
I have experience with esxi6.7
Proxmox
And i can buy SSD for VMs..
I hope it can be stable for few years...
Most time i using Linux.. but for games or couple software using windows... and every time rebooting i don't want..
For keyboard and mice i want use this decision.. https://symless.com/synergy
I can't understand how all this system can be shutdown... so vms will suspend automatically? Then reboot unraid?
How to operate this?

I'm not sure what you mean but i think most of us use their unraid-setup as 'always on' systems. VM's can start/stop automatically when unraid boots/shuts down. You can try unraid for free for 30 days.

I think unraid needs a dedicated gpu to boot. This will most likely be the iGPU. There are ways to passthrough the iGPU but i haven't looked into it yet so i can't help you there.

What hardware do you have?

unRAID does not require a GPU to boot. My server runs without a GPU entirely. Having a server that is meant to be headless require a GPU would be a dumb decision

True, it is not a requirement to boot. I was wrong.

 

I was reffering to problems with passthrough when using only 1 gpu in the primary pcie slot or something? But those are solved in one of the latest versions?

 

Back on topic. OP, have you tried setting up your server?

Seems like the best solution given your specific scenario is simply having a win10 machine with linux virtualised on the desktop (hyper-v, virtualbox etc)

[Shvonder]

Or two computers on desktop
