You currently run Windows and Ubuntu on your PC. You have two SSDs, one with Windows and another with Ubuntu. It’s possible to use both operating systems at the same time, but you’ll need to set up dual-monitor support and ensure compatibility between them. Your brother can work on the Ubuntu side while you focus on Windows.

You'll have to configure virtual machines. However, you'll require an additional GPU since NVidia restricts splitting a GPU across two virtual machines. That could be a challenge...

With a GPU available, you can run applications that require graphics processing more efficiently. You might explore gaming, video editing, or scientific simulations that benefit from high-performance hardware.

He demonstrates this in a video, though it costs a lot. You'll need an extra GPU that can run the game, allocate cores to virtualization, and your CPU only has four cores—making it difficult. You also require memory for running the VM and for the two operating systems.

The concise response is yes, especially when working directly with hardware.

Reject this idea. Two users with different operating systems and multiple peripherals require specialized (and costly) hardware such as KVMs to run effectively.

It seems the instruction was about "simultaneously," but I interpreted it as happening at the same moment.

It's possible your assumption is right. The OP mentions two monitors, which could mean the video you shared is accurate.

We should wait for the OP's reply before proceeding, then move forward, though I believe his specs aren't sufficient for handling two VMs at once—depending on how they're being used.
