I'm using Kubuntu and have an NVIDIA GPU. I'm looking for a way to access the desktop of another user on my PC or at least view a window of an application running as that user while logged into my own account. Both of us are admins, but I want to avoid a full remote desktop solution over Wi-Fi since it's slow and laggy. Ideally, I just need a way to see an app that runs under the other user's account without using X11, as I'm currently having issues with that. It would be great if the app can utilize my NVIDIA GPU too. Thanks for any help!

You might want to try switching to a different TTY using ctrl+alt+f1 through f9, logging into the other user's account, and then starting a KDE session from there. You can start it with this command:
```
/usr/lib/plasma-dbus-run-session-if-needed /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland
``` Just keep in mind that this method is a bit untested, so proceed with caution!
I actually tried this, and once you're done, logging out returns you back to the TTY without any issues!
