Sadly, I know how to do it in Windows because I run long lived tasks that can take a day or two to finish. I need the ability to log into my windows servers and see the GUI regardless of where I'm physically at.
On the server (individual's desktop PC) allow RDP (remote desktop).
When local to the server/desktop, login and use it as normal.
When remote, just connect to the desktop via RDP. The RDP session moves to the latest connection and drops the previous connection.
I do it all the time.
That is similar in Linux to what would be done in text mode with tmux. There is a single session, running in one machine only, but which can be displayed in different computers. It is very different from the original question here of login on the same home on different computers. It is a new login, a new session, running in the new computer, not a retake of the previous session. The equivalent in Linux are technologies to transmit the graphical session and display/control it on different computers. For instance, VNC. I've not heard of the ability to shift a running remote X session from one machine to another natively, though. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
