Is your feature request related to a problem?

No response

What is your feature request?

Steam-headless is obviously, as the name suggests, meant to be run headless.
However, I've always looked for a solution like this, only working while the PC is still usable.
I imagine that it would allow two people using the hardware at once.

I read somewhere that this would already be possible, but I have no idea how and if it's a feature of this program.

SR,
Arokan

Are there any workarounds?

I want to know the same... 90% of my gaming is done on the PC directly, but occasionally would like to wake the PC remotely, have it load up Steam, and be able to play from another room or house.

Currently I'm auto-logging-in on boot to achieve this, but would like to go back to not having to make my PC available for all to access unattended.

I'd like this to work also. I'm not quite sure if it's possible, i've read online that x11 isn't designed to have multiple instances of X running, but i'm daily driving wayland so it should be possible right?

I'm not sure either, but when you "switch user" on a modern distro, it definitely starts up a new X session, which I'm pretty sure gets a new screen number. However, obviously this is not simultaneous use of the display, so it may be completely irrelevant to this desired use case.
