"The multipass launch command without any argument will create and start a new instance"

Not clear to me what is actually happening with this.  Is it running Ubuntu on another computer, x11/ssh/rlogin/etc ? Or does it create a local virtual machine?

Is the instance persistent, or does it (and all its data & history) cease to exist when you're done with it?

If remote and persistent, does it make you the only user, or might there be other login accounts on it?

Local

It creates a local virtual machine. The first sentence of the documentation says as much.

Persistent

Once created the instance of Multipass is persistent.

See this answer for an example of non-persistant use of Multipass.

Sole User

There are no other login accounts on it. The only user is called ubuntu.

Hope this helps
