I’ve been using VMware for about two decades. I’m moving elsewhere. KVM appears to be the solution for me.
I cannot discover how a guest display is supposed to work.
On VMware workstation/Fusion the application provides the display interface and puts it into a window on the host. This can be resized to full screen. It’s how I’ve been running my Debian desktop and probably hundreds of other virtual machines (mostly Linux) inside a guest on my MacOS iMac.
If I install Linux or BSD onto the bare metal iMac, how do KVM guests show their screen?
I really don’t want to run VNC or RDP inside the guest.
I’ve been looking for documentation on this but Google search is now so bad that technical documents are completely hidden behind marketing blurbs or LLM generated rubbish.
Anyone?
Absolutely. A lot of the time the biggest difficulty with researching something is not even knowing the right terms to search for. Asking a few questions can give you a starting point to know where and how to look.
And the thing is, I personally hate asking questions on forums and the like. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve done it. I’m very good at digging up answers by myself, and I generally do work better with essays than I do with conversations. But my experience should not be seen as the default, and people shouldn’t be shit on for trying to learn through community rather than through textbooks.
