Further simple complexity is that you may be running more than one instances of GUI on same ^machine^ and switching between them by hot keys Ctrl+Alt+F7 -F8 -F9 -F10 and -F11.These can be GUI consoles of your choice KDE/Gnome/etc running simultaneously as different/same(caution) users and a few of them may be running remote applications / providing remote logins and all of them may have multiple desktops. So U may think, feel, and be rich......well not really unless U have a pretty / decently fast machine else power of runlevel 1 is also awesome .... depends on on u do with it, ...well I am learning.
Not satisfied yet ....OK you can have multihead displays, multiple processors, Multiple boxes housing motherboards/processors/ RAMS/storage/andwhatnot..... You may also have multiple keyboards and mice attached if U have biomachines (people).
We are not talking network - this is one kernel i.e. only one ^opsys^ and that is what I understand LINUX ( oops *nix) to be.
Lets say Thanks to Linus Torvalds (or shall we also say so to the Gurus of __).
PS: it can emulate your **favorite GUIdos also somewhere in those many consoles. Please don't laugh, it is trillion $ industry - only smiles please.

And to confuse things just a little more, note that X is not constrained to
the local machine. It is perfectly capable of running the entire window
manager/desktop from a different machine or intermingling individual
windows from various machines or both. Likewise you are not constrained
to just running the applications associated with one or the other of the
desktop environments - you can mix those as well.
