Remote access AlmaLinux10

I have created an Incus container running AlmaLinux 10 and KDE. I’ve installed Xwayland and can run X11 applications (like gvim) remotely using “ssh -X”.

I want to access the KDE Plasma desktop using VNC or something similar. Wayvnc explicitly does not support KDE or Gnome window managers. There is an RPM for tigervnc on SourceForge for RHEL 10. I’m assuming that AlmaLinux 10 and RHEL 10 rpms are interchangable.

Does anyone know if tigervnc works? Is there another way to access the desktop?

RHEL 10 does not have Xorg, only Wayland. Therefore, it does not offer VNC either as that requires “real” X11 server, not just XWayland. This extends to the Anaconda installer of RHEL, which in earlier major versions did offer VNC.

What RHEL 10 does have is RDP. There are RHEL instructions for Gnome: Chapter 1. Remotely accessing the desktop | Administering RHEL by using the GNOME desktop environment | Red Hat Enterprise Linux | 10 | Red Hat Documentation
and for the installer: Chapter 15. Starting a remote installation by using the Remote Desktop Protocol | Interactively installing RHEL over the network | Red Hat Enterprise Linux | 10 | Red Hat Documentation

AlmaLinux 10 – due to its nature – has same options as RHEL 10.


If you have XWayland, then I do assume that your KDE session runs on Wayland. I know nothing about KDE, so cannot say whether it supports RDP somehow. (Overall, I don’t use remote desktops – except at most for initial remote install and even that is very rare).
