I use mainly KDE/Gnome so things are probably different with Mate, depending on your login manager. You could change that, I guess.
On the physical PC - I start new independent graphical session by locking the screen and starting new session with different user. Switching between the session is done by Ctrl+Alt+F7-8-9-... For remote multi terminal access there is ssh for text or VNC for graphical environment.
