Improved VNC & virtual desktop

[LogicalUnit]

Hi everyone! I'm an IT professional who is getting well and truly sick of Windows. I'd love to migrate to Linux for my day-to-day work in my home office.

I have a Proxmox cluster running on some decent hardware I scrounged up, and I'm having fun with Ubuntu Desktop, Mint Linux, and others.

The browser-based VNC client is great -- but I'm after an improved desktop experience that can run at higher resolution, and with audio. Ideally, I'd like to use my Windows desktop machine as a thin client that runs VNC or some other client that connects to the virtual desktop.

Can someone point me in the right direction, please?

@LogicalUnit See the problem there?

I would look for something like: https://www.apalrd.net/posts/2022/raspi_spice_vdi/ for the desktop and have the Windows as a VM (if you have to) ...

Oh cool! Yep I'd seen SPICE options in proxmox but didn't know what it was. This is definitely what I want. Thanks!
