i know there are programs to run lots of Linux users at the same time, and the same for windows, but i was wondering if there was a way to run windows and Linux at the same time for multiple different users. For example, you turn on a monitor connected to the main pc and can choose an operating system that you want to use, for example, ubuntu, and then a different person comes along and selects that they want to use windows?

edit: I don't want to use a VM, something similar to Aster would be prefered.

Without one or both OS in a Virtual Machine, the answer is a hard 'No'.

Each operating system requires full control of the CPU, memory, filesystem, etc. Two operating systems cannot control the same hardware simultaneously. The process of switching between operating systems involves a reboot.
