Set up a virtual machine tailored for gaming.
Set up a virtual machine tailored for gaming.
It’s possible but faces many challenges. The system must run on Linux, since Windows doesn’t support GPU virtualization. You’d need two GPUs and two Windows licenses. An option called multiseat lets multiple sessions run on one PC, but based on the person’s experience it’s questionable.
You seem uncertain about the situation. It looks like you're aiming for itx and that would eliminate the dual GPU option.
You're right about Minecraft running multiple instances smoothly—just make sure you have enough resources. Running both at once isn't recommended on an ITX system due to hardware limitations beyond just the GPU. Also, it seems IOMMU issues on Ryzen are ongoing, which likely means GPU passthrough won't be viable.
I'm not familiar with this situation. I haven't tried anything similar before and don’t have much experience. The main point is that I enjoy playing Minecraft with my daughter, and my laptop (Ivy Bridge i5 dual core with HT) isn’t powerful enough for it. I was hoping to upgrade to a Ryzen build, so I thought maybe combining it could help.
