Making a cloud workstation
Hello everyone,
Currently I have a 3 core 4.5 gb ram with ~80gb ssd KVM
I am looking to not have my home PC on all the time, and use this instead.
Current applications I run :
Web Browser
PhpStorm
RamBox
NoMachine (thanks fellow LET'ers)
I was using ZorinOS, but ran into some issues with graphics drivers (i think), it would crash anytime i loaded up the system settings.
So, now that that's all out of the way, what workstation environment would you recommend I try out that will suit my needs?

That looks like latency and in general the issues with transfering realtime video over (even a) moderate latency link. That's not the distros fault.
This would difinately work.
My macbook air does not allow me to run webpack builds smoothly, so I use a home virtual server to setup the dev environment and the experience is unexpectedly smooth. And I've moved all my projects to this kind of setup, one project one virtual machine, no more local context switching, no more disrupted workflow. I either use vscode with ssh remote or just neovim on the remote machine.
However, I don't think it's a good idea to forward graphics... If you can find a way to utilize remote processing power but still render things locally, do it, especially for text/code editing.
If you use linux locally, you can forward X applications too!
Ended up being the display driver used solusvm. The host swapped it out and got me hooked up!
the resolution:
Our VM's are running in default KVM Video Driver and it works with most of the distibutions. Seems the ISO's you mentioned here requires additional drivers. So I enabled the VGA driver for your VM and disabled the 2D and 3D accelerating and the VM is displaying the system settings now.
