Hi, I'm looking to renew my hardware and I'm wondering how Linux can help me to virtualize my desktop environment. My first go was to have 2 Intel NUC and 2 screens, one NUC more stable and one I can play with. I want to use both screens with both computers so this implies to also have two KVMs. Then came the idea to virtualize everything. Make both computers a hypervisor cluster (using Xen or KVM) and run all systems virtualized. But at which point can this be done for desktop system? Here are some points I'm blocking with: 1. I want two screens and be able take make each VM to use one (left or right) or both screens. Maybe by pressing some keyboard shortcuts. 2. I want mouse a keyboard to be moved to the VM of my choice or dedicated to one VM and use Synergy [1] for the others. 3. I will have somewhere a Windows VM so good support is needed. 4. What about the graphics? Can I still make use of Blender for example? How the graphic card shared between each VM? 5. I'd like to make both hypervisor work together. Can I use the local drive of each computer to ensure migration and folder sharing? I see many advantages which this setup: 1. I can freely test, new VM and we are done. 2. I can make a snapshot at any time just in case and go back if my system crashes. And some drawbacks: 1. I will never have full performance of my hardware. Is it for you something that can be done or no way?
