I currently have a PC running Windows 11 that my S/O and I use multi-seated with Aster Multiseat. However, we’re both equally sick of Windows and are interested in switching to Linux.
However, all the information that I can find on multiseat in Linux are forum posts and unfinished wiki entries for Ubuntu and Fedora, and they all seem to be from around 2008-2012.
We’re about to upgrade our PC to support two RTX 3060s and a Ryzen 9 (of course, including the usual two monitors and sets of peripherals).
Can Linux (preferably Fedora, as it’s my favorite distro so far) easily support multiseating?
Will there be any performance issues using this method?
Is it possible to isolate applications per user? (Aster Multiseat doesn’t do this, so sometimes an application can detect another instance on the other user and refuses to start…)
Thanks in advance.
I have seen this used in school situations with 3+ seats per PC.
that can add up when dealing with a dozen+ PCs.
For home use, not much a benefit, but I did have it setup years ago for the grandkids.
