I’m not much hoepful, but… just in case :)

I would like to be able to start a second session in a window of my current one (I mean a second session where I log in as a different user, similar to what happens with the various ctrl+alt+Fx, but starting a graphical session rather than a console one).

Do you know of some software that lets me do it?

Can I somehow run a KVM using my host disk as a the disk for the guest VM (and without breaking stuff)?

    I’m just messing around with testing/configuring different desktop environment/window managers and I’m looking for a quick way to preview them (running the new session as my user would be fine too - I just thought it would be simpler as a different user)

      running a “second seat” on a different F key like in the link might be a good way to do that.

      back in the day i would just log out and log in. there’s so much going on with desktop environments i kinda had to spend some time in one doing my daily to figure out if it was what i wanted.
