I’m sitting here thinking about projects, wishing I could fire up a new VM and install Debian while I sit here on the couch. Then I would have a fresh VM ready to go after I recover from sitting on the couch.

Unfortunately the web GUI is not very mobile friendly. Or maybe it is and I just suck at it.

I realize I could have templates and stuff ready to go, but that would require foresight.

And I am just a guy sitting on a couch.

Kasmweb in a docker with a FF workspace is how I do it, but this one looks like a RDP session to a Windows box/VM.

You can just use remote desktop into Windows. I used to have a headless PC setup with a GPU so that my wife could play Sims 4 over the network on her ancient laptop from the couch.

There are a few ways. What does your setup look like?

It’s really simple. Hardly use it for any heavy lifting.

I use Proxmox to play with VMs and Open Media Vault on top to be my NAS.

I’ve done RDP, but figured that it could only be done on desktop.

I would get a GPU for VFIO and then setup sunshine for streaming. Sunshine won’t work well over really slow connections or connections with high latency but it will allow for a good gaming experience.
