Please bear with me! It is just a random thought I had.

I have always wanted to build a dedicated PC for all my homelab needs, but I travel a lot and need the convenience of laptop. I own a laptop with the following specifications

i7 - 13700H, RTX 4070, 32 gb DDR 4 ram, one 500gb Kingston KC3000 for my OS and programs, and 1tb Corsair P3 Nvme.

I wanted to do the following setup, but is it feasible to have one?

Proxmox on Kingston drive as the main OS

Ubuntu (or any other Linux distro) on the Kingston Drive as a daily driver for web browsing and general 3D printing when I am at home. Uses intel graphics, no need for GPU passthrough

Windows as a secondary OS, for gaming with GPU Passthrough, windows-related apps. Hosted on the same Kingston drive

A NAS OS hosted on the same Kingston drive. It will only be booted when I want to backup my photos using Immich. It will use a harddisk drive attached via USB

For the 1TB drive, it will be shared both by Ubuntu and Windows.

What are your thoughts and recommendations? I have always used Windows as a main OS. If you do not like this setup, please tell me so that I won’t bother doing the setup.
