Anyone knows how to properly start a multiseat wayland with a desktop environment or window manager running?

I just need simple stuff such as profile initialization of the user and if it's possible to just share the same discrete GPU across multiple seats?

The end result? I want to isolate my current user space from the gaming space where I can just connect using moonlight/sunshine. I want it all headless.

You may be interested in a project called "wolf". Its goal is to run graphically accelerated containers using a Wayland compositor that uses gstreamer as the backend instead of a display. After that, wolf serves as your moonlight server. There are hoops to jump through if you're using Nvidia, and the software is very young. But I think it shows promise.

I haven't tried it myself yet, if you give it a go, let me know how you get on. 🙂

@jac Hey, thanks for sharing!

They have a lot of useful information.

cc mostly in case if you find it useful @Max_P wayland headless https://games-on-whales.github.io/wolf/stable/dev/wayland.html

And a mention of custom EDID for a monitor to be registered huh . Guess I'll follow up on this as well eventually, less work setting things up and more things to learn.
