is this different from the seamless/unity modes that are available in vmware/virtualbox? i think they behave in the same way, they host guest windows which are painted by an rdp like thing (possibly just rdp) but behave like regular windows in the host operating system. i remember making use of it back in 2013 or so.
i think the vmware one even supports 3d hardware accelerated windows.
- a-dub 5y agoi see now, it's seamless mode for kvm as opposed to virtualbox or vmware.
- evoloution 5y agoAt least VirtualBox has stopped working properly for some time now in my distribution without any plans to fix it. Workaround is freerdp remoteapp but this also breaks sometime with overlay menus... It was about time someone took a shot at this. Also, MS hyperv has been doing a lot of improvements to improve desktop user experience (e.g. opengl) whereas VMWare and virtualbox are more geared towards enterprise I think.

- wila 5y agoVMware unity hasn't been supported for Linux guest or Linux hosts since around 2015.. and no it wasn't using RDP. See also: https://planetvm.net/blog/?p=2936 https://planetvm.net/blog/?p=2936
