Hi guys, I would like to ask for some tips or guide on how to set up a 2 users 1 CPU configuration with each user having their own dedicated operating system.
So basically, I would like to share one CPU to two users either simultaneously or for single user using his own operating system (the use case is one user for gaming and the other one for light task such as web browsing, office work or light CAD rendering).
My first option would be to use the free version of VM Ware Player or Virtual Box within Windows 10 but this seems this less efficient because I need to boot up the first host system for the other user to be able to use his own operating system using VM Ware or Virtual Box.
My second option would be to use KVM on Linux but I am not sure how exactly this should work?
I have checked Linus Tech Tips' video here but it looks quite complicated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuJYMCbIbPk
My hardware:
i7-7700
Intel on-board HD graphics
1pc. GTX-1070
8GB RAM (planning on upgrading to 16GB if needed)
1pc. EVO 750 SSD
1pc. m.2 SSD
on-board sound card
2pcs. monitor
2 set of keyboard and mouse
