What is the state of Multiseat in Linux today?
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's honestly not that great, you can mash together a working setup but it's a pain put in the most polite manor, I would probably just use VMs
Right, using some hypervisor and running 2 VMs would be a traditional way of doing this.
well, I'm not sure traditional is the right word, multiseat has been used for a very long time. It used to be a bit better supported. The issue is that since the migration to wayland, it has become... a lot less supported. It is still possible, but most of the guides are x11 guides for a reason.
EDIT: I should say I hope seatd at some point could support multiseat but at the current time I don't think it has any facilities to, systemd-logind / elogind do support multiseat, but I dont currently use them
