Hello,

Thanks for this awesome piece of software, I am wondering if it is possible to have a desktop environment running and using another desktop environment in a game on the same gpu/a virtual monitor. I tried so, but it switches to TTY1 and when I switch back to by local desktop environment outside the container the screen gets black, is there a way to have both desktops running concurrently?

That's one of the main reasons why we're working on Wolf, have you tried that out?

Thanks, this sounds good, I guess I have to try it out and play around with it :)
