not sure what you mean, GDM etc have a login screen... you mean such as having two users to one pc, with two monitors and two keyboards and mice?
i think that is theoretically possible, but difficult to set up

I mean, I should be able to vnc in to a machine on my account while I is being used by someone else. It works great on the terminal with ssh. GUI should be just as easy.
Also would be cool if I could connect what amount to a gui tty terminal with keyboard, mouse, display, and speakers; via Ethernet.
I have always wanted one massive multi-user machine for my family.
Bring back the mainframe!!
it actually can be done if you have got the time and patience to do it
especially now, i mean, if you can wire it all up with gigabit ethernet, you can literally run remote X sessions on shitty hardware and have 30+fps on everything, which is gonna be fine for most people
i've never understood how mainframe works, seems like magic to me, like some kind of simple old school parallel processing scheme
i think he means, in wayland. cause yeah the multi session stuff was super ez in X11
haha yeah, see, another point against gayland
i mean, what kind of lunatic doesn't understand that a unix terminal bitrate is literally CPU memory access speed?
only retards.
and seriously, memory transfer rate has been above the required for a 30fps GUI if you add an adequate high speed image compression algorithm in the picture... like what is used in RDP and VNC, but with memory bitrates, far higher, and with parallelism easy to maintain that framerate
i mean, it's unbelievable how slow progress has been in this part of computer technology, the absolute worst, yet, it can be done
what's the name of that discord fork that does real time UI streaming? i forget, some dude i know roped me in to helping him do some online test using it to do the answers for him a few years back, i wasn't cool with that but... yeah, parsec
if parsec can do it, the whole industry should be providing systems that can do it
parsec can do it
wayland and macos and windows and all the other gay shit
see, even android has this working, but not the main desktop environments
how does that even make sense?
I was all excited when they started talking about Wayland since it seemed building in remote terminals would be a no brainer, but instead they decided that it would be better to make multi-user support worse.
i think you can do this.. but its gonna take a deep dive into headless wayland sessions.
potentially rdp vs vnc too. 🔥
haha, yeah, funnel them into WINDOWS RDP go ahead
man, if it wasn't more obvious
when i was a mere early teenager people were doing multiple remote desktop sessions over 10 base T ethernet
that's about 800kb/s network speed btw, circa 2000
i don't even know how to express my acidic, sour, and salty disposition towards the way that this technology has been raped by assholes like Bill Gates and whatever the name of that homo that raped apple computer was name, jobs, yeah, jobs, that's the one, steve fucking homo jobs
