I used ssh -X many times in the past. The setup you are describing sounds fascinating. The only thing I dont know how to allow the students to connect to a different VM the same way. Not evey seminar will be on the same server/VM.
And yes, it seems I was asking for Linux terminal server with GUI login. That would eliminate the possibility to run Windows apps that cannot be emulated.
They need to do GIS (QGIS, R and Python), which is doable with only 2D, but sometimes they rely on some webapps that would benefit from from webgl being not slow.
Thx for the input. It really comes down to not use VMs when 3D acceleration is needed.
I am just guessing: Could sector size have something to do with it?
And no, I wouldn’t trust it.
Yes, same here. That is why I read on Lemmy to inform myself in advance and reduce the amount of tabs.
I am in the 5 to 20 tab range depending on the solution I am searching for. At around 5 I usually use LLM to help me and cross-check with more searches. If it is longterm, I subscribe to related communities on Lemmy and interesting podcasts.
Regarding your question to virtualize Windows: Use virt-manager if it is just for you and Proxmox if you want to provide virtualized services. Certainly, you can use Proxmox just for yourself, it even works with nested virtualization if you want to learn things before commiting to additional hardware. I am there right now. Many more tabs will be opened to learn about Proxmox, I am sure.
I recommend Debian stable or Fedora if your aim is to get things done. NixOS is maybe a thing you can try out and learn about in a VM on Proxmox or with virt-manager.
That sounds promising. I’ve tested only with xrdp so far. Love to see, when performance can be improved, thx.
