So, I'm currently running Windows 7, i like linux very much but i can't give up windows programs and games. I can't dualboot, i tried multiple times but i can't be bothered to reboot like, ever and just end up running windows anyways. But i finally decided what i want to do! I would like to install linux or bsd as my main os and use a vm to run all my windows stuff. As i said i like to game but i also use hardware acceleration in graphics design aplications so i would need a GPU passthrough. I have a 4790k, gtx970, 16 gb ram and an ssd and would like to keep the performance as close to native as possible.
What distro should i use? What virtualization software? Is it possible to passthrough a GPU to multiple VMs running diferent OS's(not at once)? Can i mount encrypted partition to a VM? How would one go about doing this? What about a Windows licence in a VM?
