My use case needs VM's with a number of default installs of popular linux
distros in order to support specialized applications for users scattered
around the globe, so I can't avoid GNOME. With Fedora 29-32 I was using
SPICE on the console of the system (located in a different building, so not
always convenient) that hosted the VM's. Fedora 33 came along at the same
time as new versions of the applications and some new hardware, so I
haven't had time to look after the VM's. Getting remote access to the
VM's is on my todo list.
Some of my colleagues use macOS so I may need to add that to the mix.
SPICE ("The SPICE project aims to provide a complete open source solution
for remote access to virtual machines in a seamless way so you can play
videos, record audio, share usb devices and share folders without
complications." --https://www.spice-space.org/index.html), is not a
long-term option:
SPICE has been deprecated inRHEL 8
<https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/8.3_release_notes/deprecated_functionality#deprecated-functionality_virtualization>
In RHEL 8.3, the SPICE remote display protocol has been deprecated. Note
that SPICE will remain supported in RHEL 8, but Red Hat recommends using
alternate solutions for remote display streaming:
- For remote console access, use the VNC protocol.
- For advanced remote display functions, use third party tools such
as RDP, HP RGS, or Mechdyne TGX.
I have used VirtualBox RDP support in an "enterprise" environment where
Windows was the "desktop standard", but I'm not familiar with HP RGS
<https://www8.hp.com/ca/en/campaigns/workstations/remote-graphics-software.html>
or Mechdyne TGX
<https://www.mechdyne.com/software-services/software-solutions/remote-desktop-tgx/>.
Both are commercial. HP RGS is now called* HP ZCentral Remote Boost.*
