You're referring to operating multiple virtual machines simultaneously, each on its own display. This setup resembles configurations like Perfect Couples PC or the 6 Editors with a single CPU arrangement.
You'd need a separate keyboard and mouse for them, wouldn't you? If both screens go through one GPU (likely the integrated one), it seems unlikely this would work. The approach Linus took probably works around that issue, and there might be alternative solutions.
Because both screens share the same graphics card, you’d have to use two virtual machines on a regular operating system just to make them seem distinct. It’s feasible, but it consumes more resources.
To achieve this setup, you should have a minimum of one core for Unraid, followed by one dual-core and one single-core machine, especially with many 4-core laptops.
The laptop includes a separate GPU and integrated graphics. Could it be done to combine the integrated with the dedicated GPU? The Zenbook Pro Duo (your dual-screen model) features an i9-9980HK processor—8 cores total. You could allocate 1 core for unraid, 4 for one operating system, and 3 for the other. It might still feel inefficient but would be easier to handle.
