From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My use case is an expo, we have a game people can play on display and I'm doing things on my main screen, ideally I can continue doing work while people try the game but at the bare minimum I would like the keyboard to he restricted to that app.
I wouldn't entrust such an important display to some hacky solution a bunch of Lemmy users can come up with. Set up a normal kiosk environment and do your work on a second machine. You can ssh or even Sunshine/Moonlight into the gaming machine if you have to do something there.
But you don't want something a potential customer does on the game to crash your work or vice versa. Or even worse something goes wrong and the customers can suddenly see your work on their screen. Best to separate those things as much as possible.
