What I never understood is how Spice is not elevated to a separate product. It does a fantastic job handling the graphical, audio, and peripheral connections to VMs, so how come there isn't a Spice server that I can just install to whatever Linux system and remote to it with the Spice clients that are already there? Also, I'd like to plug Sunshine - I think it works on Wayland, and from the tests I did it does a fantastic job on a local network to make a desktop usable, even from an Android device. The downside is that whatever happens on the remote screen, it must happen on the host screen as well, so you can't have the host locked while you do gaming on it for example.

I love Spice too but it has been deprecated for a while now. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/8.6_release_notes/deprecated_functionality https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...

  Oh no. Thanks for passing the news along. EDIT: just an FYI for everyone interested, here's a bit of info about how Proxmox is handling it. TL;DR Spice is still at least maintained until 2029, so it's not going to just go away anytime soon. https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/plans-for-spice.113339/ https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/plans-for-spice.113339/

    On that thread they mention virt-manager being deprecated, how can that be?

      most libvirt stuff is just an attempt by google and redhat to take over qemu.

  That's redhat deprecating spice in its releases. That doesn't mean spice is being deprecated.

I looked at the Sunshine / Moonlight combination at one point as I thought something focused on latency would also be great for interactive desktop applications. It turns out though that clipboard synchronization isn't even supported so that was a complete non-starter for me.
