Like Multiseat but one Seat and one Virtual
Hi,
I want something like Multiseat but one is Virtual without monitor,mice, keyboard on Host PC and running Steam.
I want login via Steamlink on an Raspberry with its own mice, Keyboard and Monitor.
My Wife is Working at the desk and i want login via Steamlink to use my games or my Desk without interact with her.
What is the best way to do it ?
thx RunningX

This isn't going to be easy, and you're going to need more than one GPU but you can use VFIO and GPU pass through. This will create a virtual machine on the host computer and assign one of the GPUs to that virtual machine. This will allow you to play your games without affecting the host machine, you can even connect separate monitor, keyboard, and mouse and just use it like normal.

that's a link from the wiki to get started, there's a lot of resources on youtube if you get stuck. I have NOT tried this, so I have no idea how well it actually works.

I know nothing about steamlink, but there're claims of running it in a minimized xephyr window.
If it doesn't rely on a framebuffer or root window, you could reverse that approach and run steam on the actual X11 server (so you get CPU acceleration) and overlay it w/ a fullscreen xeyphyr window, running the server where your wife works.
