run multiple os's on single pc

Go to solution Solved by harryk,

Sorry this is not possible. When an OS boots it takes control of the CPU, memory, and other hardware; it's not possible to share them without an overseeing hypervisor OS which controls the hardware and allocates shares to each VM. The closest you can get is running multiple VM's and switching between them either via a KVM or some remote desktop setup. Or you could dual boot one system but you can never have two OS's running natively on the same hardware at the same time.

hi, is there a way to run multiple OS's on single machine (not like virtual box)

but like a KVM , that each os runs and i can jump from one to another.

i hope i explained myself right,

for example, lets just say that i run servers on vmware and want to use the monitor keyboard and mouse on that server to work on each server (not via vmware console or rdp).

i love your channel keep up the good work
