a bit outdated but afaik the best way is to make separate shortcuts with the --profile option. chromium has significantly better support for profiles if you really want good UX tho
whoops i forgot to state this is about OS user accounts!
oh that is one way to do this too! running gui apps, especially with wayland and audio systems tends to be a bit annoying, but it seems like there is a tool for exactly that. another way to do this is using multiple sessions. my knowledge is a bit outdated because the last time i used multi-user systems with more than one physical user is years ago but at least you used to be able to switch back to the login screen with CTRL+ALT+F(something) and log in as another user. eg if your login manager runs on C+A+F1 and when you log in you get to C+A+F2, you can switch (pun intended) back to C+A+F1 and launch another session on C+A+F3
also, if thats your jam, you can use nix with home-manager (even on non-nixos systems (also pun intended)) to manage your user account! you can just share configuration in nix files instead of having to set up everything in every user account
