Hi, Didier: I should maybe clarify that I'm thinking of my own personal environment. I live alone. I do not work in an office, Though I currently work for one of the larger companies on the planet, I use their VPN on the laptop they provided--not Linux. I understand about multi-user console environments, but I can't think of any company, university department, whatever, adopting those today. Even were one to construct such a thing today, it's unlikely it would use dumb terminals. Far more likely, imo, is personalized cloud-based logins. Even here the local terminal is likely a full PC (Mac, whatever) where there are unlikely to be multiple logins. If we instead think of a LAN for the family, I can see multiple users, but still not based on console logins but rather on graphical logins. Do you disagree?
