I run a multi-headed desktop, running Ubuntu 16.10 + Windows 10 simultaneously. Specs: * CPU: i7-3820 * Motherboard: Asus p9x79 deluxe * Memory: 32GB DDR3 * Graphics: EVGA GTX 680 SSC + ASUS GTX 970 SSC * 1tb Samsung SSD + 2x1TB WD Black HDD The net result is that I can have both windows 10 and ubuntu running at the same time, with native performance and native graphics, native inputs for both operating systems. The 680 is dedicated to running the Ubuntu 16.10 graphics, and the 970 is dedicated to running the Windows 10 output. I have both cards outputting to multiple inputs for each monitor, so I usually run Windows 10 with 1 display and Ubuntu with my other 2, but I can use any combination, giving either OS all monitors. I can game in windows 10, press a key, and be surfing on Ubuntu 16 while windows does some pesky updates. Highly recommended setup, but your CPU and motherboard must support VT-D virtualization. Most hardware does not support this. Look into /r/vfio.
