Multiple Mouse Cursors in Wayland | Hacker News

A Hacker News discussion explores how Wayland and systemd-logind could evolve to let Linux desktop sessions roam between physical and remote access.

The proposal argues sessions should not be locked to a single logind seat, enabling Windows-like fast user switching and smoother remote desktop use.

The author outlines needed changes in session tracking, compositor design, and backend/device switching for Wayland, GNOME, and KDE.

Early prototypes on KDE and virtual machines suggest the idea is feasible, though major technical issues remain.

If solved, it could improve Linux usability and security for both local and remote desktop access.
