Win 10 VDI: with Linux backend management?

FATeknollogee

Anyone doing Win 10 VDI but without the typical Citrix XenDesktop/XenApp or Microsoft VDI management?

Doesn't @scale have a VDI provider they work with? Probably a paid solution tho.

I've seen that. Don't know their name. Don't know if it is Linux based or not. But it's some alternative. Web spot maybe?

WorkSpot. That's it!

RAVADA VDI looks pretty interesting too.

Just reading their website the solution is pretty straight forward.

It has to work with their (highly customized) KVM back end, so should work with at least one Linux distribution.

I think your best bet is KVM as host + Virt IO drivers with RDP or virt viewer to connect to the machine.

Virt-Viewer for me amazing and full featured but reliability wise it was hit and miss, I dont think virt-viewer receives much love and attention as much as virt-manager.

Does it? My understanding was that it was an app only, no backend interaction.

The Scale partner solution that people are thinking of is Work Spot. And no, it does not automatically create the VMs it's more of an access layer.
