A multi-user OS exists, and it is called UNIX.  It would be hard to improve
upon it.  What you seem to want is remote shell.  That also exists.  If port
forwarding or a simple X11 connection is not slick enough, there is
emacsclient.

When I was an undergrad, burning the candle on both ends was all I could
manage to keep my head above water, and I got Bs.  It would never occur to me
to write software outside classes, so much respect.
