Sorry, it's kind of a Hackintosh question...

A while ago I attempted to build a Hackintosh for the family computer. Aside from me and my dad, my whole family was used to our iMac and OSX. It got old, so I used my skills to build one rather than buy another similarly spec'd one for over $5000 or whatever. Plus, I got to do my one and only white build! It has an i5 quad-core and a GTX 1050. I failed, though. She settled for me just installing Win 10 so the kids could use it. I tried running it in VMWare Workstation, but it was glitchy and bad.

 

Here's my question, is there a way that I can, not dual-boot into Win and Mac, but like, set them both up to have a seamless transition without having to reboot the PC? Like, assign each user to a different OS? I had something like that going, as when you were signed as any of my brothers, it was Win10, but when you signed in as my mother, the VM was automatically open and it went right into the OSX desktop. But like I said, it was glitchy and slow. Anyone ever done something like this before? It would mean that my Mom could actually use the office computer comfortably AND nobody else would have to settle for Mac!

Oh, didn't know that was taken seriously. Well, then. What if I had a similar problem between Win10 and Linux?

In fact, that's what I meant to say in the first place............¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Since this thread was started with Hackintosh in mind, you're gonna have to make a new thread about Linux specifically. Sorry, but that's just how things work around here.
