I refuse to let SPICE die

I really don't get why redhat decided to kill SPICE. It was the only thing that got using a VM on open source virtualization (e.g. proxmox) close to the experience of using one on vmware.

VNC is truly the worst remote desktop protocol you can have. Bad latency, bad quality, bad integration.

100% agree. VNC is well past its prime.

I did all of my development for a couple years on my first startup in a VM on my proxmox server, connected through spice. Was extremely nice being able to just go from desktop to laptop to any other machine that I had available and have the same environment available everywhere.

It's been a few years and I haven't had a need for it recently, but it's sad to hear that they stopped supporting it.

Now that NoMachine 10 has no free option, I’ve decided that I should try to burn some tokens on making a good, performant remote desktop system. I’m targeting moonlight-like performance with Windows RDP-like user experience. Cross-platform.

I don’t need my particular repo to be the one where this gets solved, but now that coding agents are really good, we shouldn’t have to put up with paying for shit software anymore, IMO.

As an irregular user of spice (via Proxmox PVE), I wish the stars would align for QEMU to gain support for sunlight/moonlight streaming directly in the hypervisor. That'd be a killer app for VDI-style infrastructure, now that accelerated guest graphics via Venus, VirtIO GPU, and Intel's support for SR-IOV is finally coming together.

I didn't know I wanted it until you said it.

I have a few QEMU VMs where I use PCI-passthrough of a whole GPU and a USB controller, and wire the display and USB outputs physically into a KVM switch - works great, but not having to fiddle with the KVM (and run out of physical ports) would be - indeed, killer app.

The lack of a decent SPICE client for mac is disappointing, it’s one if my greatest proxmox frustrations

Edit: great work on this fork, by the way.

Major confusion for me, as SPICE is well known circuit simulator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE

Using it often. Mostly via ngspice nowadays: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngspice

People who work with visualization on Linux will (hopefully) all know what SPICE is.
