So my system is
i7-5820K
16GB quad channel ddr4 2666
gtx970
currently running windows, but wanting to change to linux as my primary os. i would much rather run a windows VM inside linux then dual boot.
how practical is it to do this? i do have old gpus laying around, like an amd 5450 i could use for my linux machine for displaying video, while using passthrough on my gtx970.
But how much of a hassle is it to hide and unhide your gpu from passthrough. like if i want to use my gtx970 on linux for a little while, then passthrough to a windows vm for gaming. (i know you need to restart your pc which isnt much of a problem).
would it be better to run say opensuse and run a windows vm inside that? or run something like proxmox and run a opensuse VM and a windows VM (which would require 3 gpus)?
and lastly how does multi monitors work? the main thing i was concerned about was when running opensuse with the 5450+gtx970 (unhidden being used on linux). would i still be able to just display video through the 5450 but use the gtx970 for gpu computing or rendering or playing games in linux?
