Multi-user: how to make several people use the same PC at the same time
With the growing increase in hardware capacity, both in processors and memories, plus the rapid advancement and development of GNU / Linux systems, increasingly robust and with better resource management, a high number of tasks can be done on a computer. tasks without getting slow. However, when using the standard configuration of a desktop PC, only one user can use the computer at a time, limiting the effectiveness of the system as it remains idle most of the time, it keeps its resources idle.
With the multi-user configuration, several users can share the resources of the same computer, so a greater percentage of its total capacity would be used, thus having a better use of the system.
For example, in the traditional scheme, if someone is just using a web browser or writing a letter in a word processor, or working with a spreadsheet, or with a billing, inventory, or accounting program, the team it is wasted, as a large part of the system's capacity is unused. But with the multi-terminal configuration, other people will be able to use the resources that would otherwise be idle.
However if someone is using all the resources of the machine (with 3-D games or something like that), the other users will have a very slow system.
