Hello Guys,
I plan to build me an perfect setup for my needs. It can be more than one PC and i am absolutely free for the OS.
At this moment i have 2 systems running Ryzen 5 2600x, one heavy system for Gaming and another one running as an VMware Host/NAS. On the Host i plan to build a gaming system which i can use by remote and there must be an NAS solution like freenas running too. So i need a host OS for NAS features and running different VMs. Also i need some advice because i am looking for a powerful Laptop that doesn't have to be able to game but must have some power for programming and virtualization.
1. So what OS should i use on the Host?
2. What CPU from AMD *.* should I use for the Host with money on my mind?
3. Dual CPU system?
4. It would be nice if there is a way to share the mouse, keyboard and monitor for one of the system through LAN/Ethernet without blocking the LAN cable?
5. Can i Plug my peripherals direct to the Host system?
6. If i do so can i switch through the VMs?
7. Which Laptop to use when i am on a Budget?
Feel free to give some advice in any kind of way.
Greetings.
