Overview VDI Stream Client is a tiny and low latency Linux client which connects to Parsec Host running on Windows. It allows to run fully GPU accelerated Windows desktop environment on a remote machine while streaming the content to a local Linux system which process keyboard and mouse input. The remote server can be a virtual machine running on-top of on-premise deployments of Virtuozzo Hybrid Server, KVM or Xen. It can also connect to public clouds like Amazon (EC2 G3 Accelerated) or Microsoft Azure (NV6). It uses Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL3) for low-level access to audio, video, keyboard, mouse and clipboard. Motivation I'm using Linux on Desktop since more than 20 years already for several reasons - customization, small and tiny floating window managers like Fluxbox, ideal platform for engineers and developers and many more. However over the past couple of years my daily job required more attention which rely on Microsoft Windows applications like Microsoft Office and full fledged groupware solution like Microsoft Outlook. There exist open source alternative like LibreOffice and Thunderbird plus various Exchange connectors or even SOGo. They are all good in their niche but they didn't reach compatibility to satisfy me. I tried a lot of different ways of solving the problem (see below","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/mbroemme","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/mbroemme/vdi-stream-client/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
