I'm having a hard time following this. So we have one(two) KVM host, fedora instance running virt manger, another fedora running vnc server?

Install Cockpit: dnf install cockpit cockpit-machines
Then do a dnf group install "Virtualization".

Set each VM to use SPICE and VNC. You can get VM console access via Cockpit and the VNC display.

cockpit gets installed on the KVM host?

Yes.

Can I create VMs within cockpit? I do not see an option for that.

Latest kernel broke my laptop. Switched to Fedora 26 with GNOME. Smooth sailing since then.

@scottalanmiller I looked and it looks like it has a few enabled.

@scottalanmiller I try to run an open source laptop with no proprietary drivers but none of my hardware work out that way.

I don't think I have any proprietary with mine currently. I've not added any from beyond the Korora repos.

Does Korora have non-free repos enabled by default?

@scottalanmiller said in Korora Desktop Rollcall:

Really nice. Any ideas about the driver support for open source drivers?

Oh how is it? Any issues on the ZenBook hardware?

I haven't had any issues with it so far besides KVM pci passthrough.

Great. That's the laptop that I really want to get at some point, it looks great.

Graphics are great too. Its a little older hardware but still runs smooth.

Cool. I have three Asus laptops currently, but the wife still has a Lenovo that is terrible. She needs to upgrade at some point and the ZenBook is what we were looking at.

Which ZenBook are you looking at? I have an HP, Asus, and Lenovo.

@stess I found two magic updates that work with SP1. Updates take about an hour. I'll post them when I login to my work computer.

Mine found the update on the first shot. 12 is looking really slick.

@scottalanmiller Thank you for the welcome. I found this community a while back but was also just hiding in the shadows. I have followed a lot of linux how-tos from here.

We use Airwatch at work with Apple's DEP program. Jamf is another one I've heard good things about.
