I just had a CentOS dualboot crash on me (not really Linux's fault this time though, let's just say I need to run...weird stuff) a few days ago
Bought a $90 used desktop off ebay, shoved 32GB of RAM into it, and set it up near my router with SSH and VNC. Now I have a dedicated Linux box, no more dualbooting headaches. -
endor56665yIf your answer is running a VM inside of the main system, or running two VMs side by side (like they showed on LTT running Arch and macOS side by side), then pass.
If it's something else, I'd be intrigued to find out -
@endor you're close.
It is a windows vm inside of a linux distribution with ssd or hdd passthrough, cpu pin passthrough, gpu passthrough and peripherals passthrough which makes it almost as performant as a windows as host os.
With looking glass or transparent remote, you get to make it appear as another window inside of your linux distro or you can make it automatically switch HDMI inputs with the libvirt hooks. -
I always kind of wanted to do that. But nobody was helping me before. Thanks to you I will be able to do it now.
First help that I need is I don't have a laptop. Can you please buy me one. -

I couldn't get my ass up to write a long guide on it (& a lot of things happened in the offline world) and I thought that it will be redundant when there's already a very detailed documentation online that is being kept up-to-date.
I set my system up using just that documentation. -
Feel free to ask me questions when you have questions while setting your system up using that documentation.
If someone is sick of dualbooting windows and a linux distribution, hit me up.
Don't worry. I am helping for free.
