I want to build One Computer To Rule Them All.
I plan to have a multiheaded setup, with one pair of monitors, keyboard + mouse each Windows and Linux, running in VMs. Windows will be used for gaming and graphic art projects, Linux for data science/bioinformatics, so performance is important.
I am thinking to have a separate drive with two partitions to hold the Dropboxes from Win and Linux. My thought is to move frequent read-writes to a separate drive from the OSs. I figure it's OK to used striped since everything on this drive will be backed up to the cloud anyway.
There will be an additional monitor and keyboard used for controlling the host, and using some tertiary VMs (one for browsing sketchy sites, one exclusively for online purchases, banking etc).
I am thinking to use Proxmox on one of the up and coming Ryzen Threadrippers (16 core + 44 PCIe lanes), although I am open to changing choice of hypervisor and ZFS host, or hardware choices if there are better options)
Anyway, I made a little sketch of my server plans. I'd be glad of any suggestions/criticisms/comments.
