To stop it - for GPU passthrough to a Windows VM, or to run Steam on the desk instead - required restarting all of LightDM, which also killed the Sway session on seat0 and lost all open windows.</p> <p>The goal: replace LightDM&rsquo;s static seat1 management with something that can be stopped and started independently, without touching seat0.</p>
