Guy with odd needs

Yeah you're absolutely right. Thank you for the help by the way. Part of the reason I wanted it to be independent VMs was in case either one got a virus, the other would still be secured. Since I plan on running windows 10 on all three, a Virus could jump from my personal to my game or vice versa.

Hey I'm sorry I haven't come back to this, I didn't realize there was a second page. OOPS. Congratulations on the kid! Here was my idea: Currently I run virtual box to do this. I have two VMs, one for personal use and one for playing games. The Personal VM and the Game VM have the exact same system resources assigned to them, and they are meant to be mutually exclusive. The reason I wanted something like Proxmox was for GPU pass through, so that I could actually game on the VM. Virtual Box doesn't support GPU pass through as far as I know.

Alright, Thank you for your insight. I honestly forgot about using Dual Boot Systems. THANK YOU!

Probably my final question: Is there any way that I can edit the configuration of PROXMOX without having to remote in? I'm asking because I don't want to have to use a second computer just to edit PROXMOX. I'm asking because this is what I'd do in a perfect world: Power on the System PROXMOX Lanches VM 1 (For my girlfriend) PROXMOX gives me the option to launch VM 2 or 3, both of which are for me. (I want to have two VMs, one for professional another for personal). Then I choose and it launches that VM. I have a 12 core CPU, I want to split it like this, VM1 gets 4 cores, and VM 2 or VM3 get the same 8 cores, and whichever is the one that is selected to be powered on is the one that gets the 8 cores, while the other stays powered off. Ideally, I'd have it so that I can shut down VMs 2 or 3 from within the OS, and then have PROXMOX autolaunch the other when it detects that the VMs OS has been shut down.

If I set up PROXMOX, could I leave it so that I don't need to interact with it anymore and the VMs automatically launch after powering on?

I thought that the OS wasn't working because the Hypervisor wasn't working with the hardware. What I'm saying is that it's one way, Hypervisor -> OS rather than Hypervisor <-> OS Regardless, thank you for your time, I'll be sure to do more research.

Awesome, go ahead and send me your tutorial, I think I'm going to use PROXMOX, and even if I don't, I love learning.

Me and my girlfriend both use Windows, I don't want to use unRAID because I believe that unRAID does require a GPU, but I will look into PROXMOX. Thank you! I'll get back to you with my findings, you've been a gread help!

I have a hard time believing the last one, if I have hot plug USB. Windows Updates can only happen in the VM, not in the layer above. Drivers and Software would be installed on the VMs, so that wouldn't be a problem either.

So I decided to look into Hypervisors (I am a complete noob to these technologies) and from the little bit of research I found, I discovered that Type 1 Hypervisors exist. I thought that the only kind of hypervisor possible was the Type 2. Actually, I didn't know Virtual Machines and Hypervisors were two things. I thought they were one and the same. So thank you so much for giving me a path for me to enlighten myself with. Now, that being said, do you have any specific Hypervisors you recommend? XenServer seems to be a popular choice.

Well, why do you say "Maintain it"? I know things break over time but the way you're writing about it makes it seem like it'll be a daily problem.

I didn't feel the need to explain this, but okay. I'm doing this because I have a 3900X and I wanted to share it with my girlfriend. The 3900X was $420. Two 3600s is $400, and assuming all the other parts are the same, it would cost me nearly twice as much to make two 3600 systems than one 3900X system.

Okay, well, basically what I'm asking is, How do I get myself the setup they made in the "Mac? Windows? You don't have to choose" video. Because I saw that they only had two GPUs for that pc. So, how do I set up a KVM to not require a GPU like they did?

Alright, so there is no way to run a KVM without a GPU?

TLDR: I haven't run into this issue yet, this is just something I see could be a problem. How do I set up a Linux KVM so that when my computer turns on, it fires up both OSs without needing a GPU? I got the idea from the bottom video. Hello everyone, I am looking for a solution to a problem I foresee. I put this in trouble shooting because I figured you'd all be interested in solving PC problems, and this is a problem I feel like I'll have, but I haven't bought the hardware yet. I have a 3900X and a desire to split the cores into two machines. It was at this point that i remembered the Dual Boot OSs video, which you can check out at the bottom of this post. I noticed that the computer shown in the video only has two graphics cards. But I remember that two gamers one CPU needed a "Donor" GPU at the top slot, which you can see the explanation of which in the video in the middle of the videos. While in the top video it looks like it has two graphics cards, it is using Intel's iGPU as the third GPU. However, there is one common denominator for the top two PCs that the bottom one doesn't have. The top two are running Unraid, but the bottom one is running a Linux KVM. So I'm assuming the Linux KVM doesn't need a GPU, but if that's the case, how do I set up the KVM so that I can use Dual Environments? I am waiting to buy a motherboard dependent on if the KVM needs a GPU or not. A Dual x16 equipped motherboard is $110 (for the features I want) but $150 for the third X16 slot. So, when I saw that I'd have to pay nearly 30% more for something I might not need, I decided to post here before making a purchase. So, does the KVM need a GPU? < The answer is quite obviously no, based on the bottom video. If that is true, how do I set up the KVM so it doesn't need a GPU in the future?
