I've just gotten an idea and I want to ask if it's possible.
Basically, from September onwards, my gf will be attending school in Brno too and if everything turns out well, we'll be sharing the same dorm room. Since my desktop is pretty beefy (4xi7 with HT + 16GB RAM), it should be able to handle two users logged in at the same time. Is it doable in reality though?
Something I'd want is a separate X/Wayland server running on each monitor with separate mice/keyboards controlling each. Naturally, two users would be logged in. As for audio, one server could do.

@matrix 8x3Ghz+ for daily use and the occasional Touhou/Minecraft is waaaaay enough
@grips You're probably right. What GPUs are you planning to use?
@matrix so far there's just an integrated one
I could get a mid-range dedicated one in the future, though it would have to fit, since it's a pretty packed mini-ITX (or a micro-ATX, not sure now)
most likely some NVIDIA or an AMD that supports the new *amdgpu* driver, that one's pretty good

@grips You need 1 for each VM and you have to use them for audio.
@matrix who said VMs?
1 linux install, 2 users, 2 sessions

@grips Crap. I thought you're gonna run VMs.
@matrix nah, that's pretty ineffecient and doesn't have the magic of a shared system
@matrix (I'm a hopeless romantic, I admit it)
