The king of the north!
good afternoon :)

the missus has finally gotten into a permanent work from home roll. Unfortunately the laptop (one of the lowest end of the first release chrome books ) isn’t appropriate for the job. Currently she doesn’t want to request an upgrade as doesn’t want to upset the apple cart on a new job.

I absolutely don’t mind her using my desktop but going forward we will end up in a situation where i want to use it it but she will be working.

It’s a very high end desktop

12900k
3090ti
32gb 5600mhz ram
and more than enough storage.

What i would like to configure is having two monitors, two mice and keyboards but running different instances so we can both use it at the same time.

I was wondering what solutions are best for this? i am assuming her instance will have to be run as a VM through mine with cores ram allocated appropriately but i’m not quite sure how to set it up in such a way that for her is just like turning on the pc logging in and getting to work No faffing around with vms every morning.

is it possible?
