Yes, very closely. Its links to

<https://www.datamation.com/open-source/what-makes-a-classic-linux-desktop-classic-1.html>,
and
<https://www.maketecheasier.com/use-kde-plasma-activities/>
are also valuable.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiseat_configuration>
and <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System>
