    Multistation

    hi,
    I need to create 2 independent sessions as multiuser, with 2 monitors (one of them connected to HDMI) 2 keyboards and 2 mouse .
    The tutorials that I have found are from more than 5 or 10 years ago. I would like you to guide me on this and the neccesary software.

    Thanks​

    What you're referring to is often called "multi seat" so you might start searching with that. It's not a normal use-case for most people here so I doubt you'll get much help on this forum. You might start looking elsewhere.

    BTW, this is a function of X so a 5 year old tutorial may not be that out-of-date. X window manager is decades old.

          Be aware that the PPA used in that page is oooooolllld and won't work on any supported release of *buntu.
          And the our display (login) manager (SDDM) probably won't work for this. That is anothe rabbit hole. lightdm should be fine, though. No idea what gdm still supports.

          systemd/loginctl seem to be the magic sauce that wasn't present in the olden times

          However, for too much info, this is probably much more accurate:

          Although I was dumb and should have gone a little closer to home

          and another random page with some tips that seem useful
