From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

While Linux TTY is multiseat by default, each TTY is a seperate user login, I'm not sure any of the GUI's support this function.
You can run multiple X servers for a graphical multiseat setup. It's a lot of work to set it up and most of the information about it is out of date though.
And distros have basically moved to Wayland as well, which probably is worse when it comes to stuff like that.
