Hi all! I’m looking for a remote desktop control system that works in Ubuntu. Something like VNC, but that allows for more than one user to remotely see and control the screen of this Ubuntu Desktop at the same time. I’ve been looking around for a while now, but all the solutions I’ve found only allow for one user at a given time. If a second user logs in, the first one is kicked out. I’m not sure if this is even possible, but I’d really appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction. Thanks!

Edit: What I’m looking for is something like https://tuple.app/, but open source.

    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.
