Yes, they do. Why do you need a "greeter"?
Well, most modern linux systems boot to a gui login screen, which, aiui,
is called a greeter ...
I'm not familiar with the term "greeter", but I assume that you're
referring to the display manager that functions as the GUI login screen.
Yup.
Configuration may be ornery, but I would assume ~> expect that this is
possible to do. After all, you're really talking about having the
system function as two independent X11 servers,
The OP explicitly stated he wants to run without X. AFAICT he wants
two separte Linux consoles. I don't think that's possible.
Thing is, X is obsolete, so if I can have my system work without X
installed, that would be nice. If I have to install it, tough that's the
way it is. It just seems weird that you should still need X installed to
login if you want your system to be pure Wayland.
But to describe my desire as "having two X servers running" is good
enough. I'd just rather it was two Wayland instances running.
My previous setup was two PCs networked. But it took up too much space,
and because so much data was shared between me and my wife the second PC
effectively didn't use its hard disk for anything beyond the OS (plus it
was an old chip, an old PC basically). Hence my desire for the curent
setup to be a powerful, SINGLE PC, but from the user's POV it looks like
there are two PCs.
