Hum, what's the use case exactly? Two or more people controlling the same desktop at the same time seems really frustrating...
The use case would be pair programming. Only one of the users would control the desktop at a given time, and the second would be mostly watching and pointing out things. After a while, the roles of programmer and observer could switch and the second user could take control.
I'd look into tools built for that purpose. For example, vscode's live share feature. Other IDEs have similar features.
Have used it, it works well
What I’m looking for is something like https://tuple.app/, but open source.
Games, combining inputs from multiple devices, and low interaction frequency things like monitoring software are a couple ive used it for personally
I think they might be thinking of something like thin clients, if I were to guess, and a server they would connect to. But yes good call out for the XY problem.
Connecting multiple users to Ubuntu is probably pretty difficult. Setting up a server for thin clients is pretty easy
