[SOLVED] Fastest display client

[Joris L.]

Hey,

Looking to do some occassional gaming and other GPU intensive tasks on a VM (yes, you read that right) i wondered what is the best way to get maximum performance, hence minimum lag. At one point i had the GPU output on a monitor connected to the server, which was pretty neat. But i believe this did not work well or other.

I looked at nomachine NX but this is not too fast, xterm.JS is mind blowing in performance but not readily available on accelerated vms

Greetings

JL.

AFAIK you either have the option to directly attach the monitor to the passed through GPU or if you use the server as workstation and have a desktop environment installed, you can take a look at Looking Glass (https://looking-glass.hostfission.com/)

All other remote desktop solutions will most likely not be fast enough.

Ah, thanks for reminding me of Looking Glass, looks incredibly interesting.

This brings me closer again to consider working on a Desktop-Server specific variant of ProxMox. Lazyas i am i though sharing it here may be of use.

Also, with NoVNC and SPICE not supporting copy past, how do i do this ?

SPICE support copy/paste. Did you install guest support properly?

For a Linux guest ?

For any guest. Read the wiki article.

Call me old fashion, i come from a time people rarely ever rebooted a machine. Solved after a reboot.

Quite the read to learn i need to install 2 packages, start it and reboot.

Works fine now, thanks.
