From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Do you know if it's possible to run a second session in a window? (lemmy.world)

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)?

This looks so neat, I screenshot for future reference if I wanted to recreate this, thanks :)

You can also bookmark comments on Lemmy, and copy the comment URL and store that in (synced) browser bookmarks!

Oh, copy the comment text and save it in a text- or markdown-file on your devices, in case it gets taken down! You can even for the text in case you forgot where you kept it!
