It's neat for sure, but this assumes there are other people near you that want to use the computer.
schools, especially non profit schools?
That is true. Personally, I think my school should have done that but they had to use Windows lmao.
>Bob Smith
Did Luke's father write this?
no resemblance + luke smith is a tech illiterate retard

whereas Luke Smith never get passed bash
Neat but seems like it'd be exactly the sort of dark corner of X that's seldom used and not much maintained.
I guess the alternative involves spinning up a VM for each user though, which has its own problems
Yeah, X11 is really amazing to discover. Shame it is losing maintainers and distros as forcing wayland
It was hemorrhaging maintainers 20 years ago because it was a pile of shit and nobody could keep up with the amount of work needed to keep it running
They were so desperate they made Wayland
pretty cool imo
personally im big into diskless workstations
but theres no reason i couldnt have both
idk what id do with it tho
This is boring. Literally VDI 101. Why is this interesting to you? Every commercial operating system in the past 30 years does this nearly effortlessly.
>just buy six GPUs
Great idea, I'll do just that and not six SBCs or MiniPCs.
pcie gpus are like 5 bucks a piece, dickmeal
actually i can see myself trying this out soon. hope its cool to run virtualbox on each seat
damn now im wondering how ine might add individual sound channels into this getup
and if using networked software between each seat could be achieved as easily as specifying the loopback address in each instance of the software or if id have to do something more clever and general purpose
You mean like a mainframe?
thats a better comparison, yeah
youre basically setting up multiple consoles
however the implementation in the article is a bit lacking
>eg i think they botch login support a bit, it doesn’t support sound
but i wonder if its become more doable in the near 20 years since
>europeans too poor to afford more than one computer, so they have to share
lole
>what is a server
lol why are you acting like this is something special?
Just start up a VirtualBox VM for each user, start up an RDP server on each one and use thin clients to connect to them.
thats six different kernels and userspaces
not to mention 6 other computers and networking kit to connect them (as well as the latency that it adds lol)
That's the point, why did you think I said VirtualBox instead of a more performant solution
because it seemed to me as if you may have had missed the point
