VNC/RDM app

Do you plan to add a VNC/RDM remote desktop client in the future? I think this would greatly improve the functionality in addition to the emulation features.

I do have some plans mentioned in the ideas file (https://github.com/DustinBrett/daedalOS/blob/main/IDEAS.md#remote-desktop) in regards to remote desktops and specifically the noVNC web client (https://github.com/novnc/noVNC).

I am not sure if I would use that or when I would get to it, but it is indeed a long term plan to add it.

Do you have any specific use cases you think it would greatly improve the functionality for?

Yes, I'm thinking about hosting daedalOS on an Unraid server and using this as a starting point for my all other servers, apps etc.
You could have some remote desktop shortcuts on the desktop or start menu to quickly connect to a remote Windows or Linux (e.g. for work). In my case, that's more helpful than the virtualisation features. It's stunning that you could run a Win11 iso inside the browser, but it would be much slower than just connecting to a running server. Also, the Win11 (for example) session will not be reset as soon as you close the browser tab.

It would be cool if you could do this.
