To simplify setting up seats on #sway, I wrote a little TUI tool (in Rust) that gives you a big list of all your input devices, and you can then move them between seats using your arrow keys. https://codeberg.org/blinry/multi-seat-configurator

    Another Wayland compositor I looked at was @ifreund@hachyderm.io's https://isaacfreund.com/software/river/, which I learned about last #FOSDEM! River is "non-monolithic", which means that you can write your own window manager for it, and it will do the compositing for you. It also has deeply integrated multi-seat support, and even the simple "tinyrwm" examples I tried work pretty well with multiple seats! 🎉 So… I think it would be an excellent basis to write a new window manager with first-class multi-seat support!
