Yeah, I'm still interested in it and I'm doing that. I just used Kali-Linux in a VM to play with my phone... But the problem is, I'm studying aviation and we use a lot of tools that only work on Windows. And the other Problem is, I can't really write the stuff i have to. Because every other Person is using Word. I mean, LibreOffice does work, but it is always a pain in the ass if you pair it with Word.. check that out: It helped me a lot with that problem...

I'm sure, i will keep trying it in the future. May be, I will stick to it at some point. But at the moment, the motivation is just gone..^^

Thank you for your reply At around the time i posted here first, I got a new laptop. So I installed there Arch and played with it for a month or so. And I have to say, Linux just isn't my world. I tried Ubuntu and co a couples of years earlier. I like the idea of Linux. But Windows has the advantage that i know it well and (that counts more for me) it just works for the most part. I don't have to write multiple dot-files and bash scripts. I admit, Arch isn't the best choice if you don't want to write your own stuff^^ But yeah, Linux is out of focus for the immediate future, I guess. That's the reason this project died. David

Oh, great. Thank you for your Help! I'm kinda busy for the next 2 weeks or so. I won't be able to test it until then. But I will report back, if it is feasible. In the meantime, if somebody ever did this, I would be happy to hear your experiences...

Thx for your answer. I think, I just found the first weakpoint. I can't find anything about pass-trough for my motherboard (gigabyte z170mx gaming 5) so i guess, that project´ll die before it even started...

Hi all Currently I'm using Windows 10 only. I game a lot and I code a lot. I always wanted to switch to Linux for the coding part and staying on Windows for the gaming part. But the hassle of a normal dual boot was always to much for me. So I kept Windows. But now i heard about unRAID. So my idea would be to run Linux on 2 Threads as my main OS and Windows would run on the remaining 6 Threads. If i want to game, i would use something like NoMachine to stream the Windows content to the Linux machine. I read about the hibernate functions of unRAID. But I would prefer to use Windows only for gaming. For instance, I could still use the Browser on Linux while gaming etc... I have a dual Monitor setup, so i would use TeamSpeak etc. on Linux. Has somebody ever done something like this? Would it be feasible? Would it be possible to dynamically allocate cores between Linux and Windows? Is there something better than NoMachine? Is NoMachine good enough to use it for gaming? Here are my current system specs: i7-6700k 16GB ram 2x GTX970 (I did that because I thought SLI would be better than a 980. But maybe it wasn't that bad if I use unRAID now^^) 2x 128GB SATA SSd 2x 1TB HDD David
