multiseat has been working with Wayland+Weston, etc for a very long time, this is GDM and i don’t know if they will have settings in Gnome for this to work out of the box or not that would be cool if they coded it with a GPU/Video output selector.
Depends on the definition you choose, but for me it’s the ability to hook up multiple monitors to one PC and have distinct login sessions running concurrently each using its own monitor as well as any paired peripherals like keyboard, mouse, etc. So you can have 2 or more users using a single computer at the same time.
It’s like a modern-day mainframe with many terminals in concept
That sounds really cool. But also too elaborate for anything I use my PC for. Although I briefly looked into the idea of Proxmox for something similar.
Same here, I wouldn’t actually have a use for it right now, but having it you can bet I’d try to use it at least one time for the “novelty” of it (even though it’s anything but novel lol)
Proxmox for something similar
Like by having various VMs running and accessing them from different PCs?

That’s easy in Proxmox, but you can also passthrough USB and display devices directly in order to access a virtualized OS directly on the PC running it. I read some people run virtualized Hackintosh in this way.
We can have multiseat under Wayland? That would be so cool

Do you know if it is possible to have multiple seats on a single gpu or is it one session for each gpu?

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
The linked video, as someone pointed out in the comments, is showcasing multipointer though

That’s neat!
