Looking for a VPS with Desktop Ubuntu

Hello,
I am looking for a VPS that can run Ubuntu (desktop variant) via RDP smoothly. Location should be US. I have a monthly budget of upto $10.

You can install RDP and whatever Desktop you want on a server install.
Legit just build it yourself. It's better than what you get from apt.

$9,99/m
2 Cores Ryzen 9
4GB RAM DDR5
60GB NVMe
10TB BW

You'd have to install VNC/desktop manually over the normal server install or install desktop via Netboot ISO.
Example: Ubuntu 22
apt install ufw
ufw allow 22
ufw allow 3389
ufw enable
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade -y
apt install xfce4
apt install xrdp
service xrdp restart
Your rdp is setup and ready to go. This will all install on a 2GB VPS, just note that as you add software your ram/cpu needs will go up.
Hope this helps.

I think BuyVM's US node would be a good choice.

Also thought about trying this out some time.
Are the VPS good enough to handle the graphics for desktop though? Or are all graphics rendered on the enduser device when connecting to rdp?
In my experience, nothing beats desktop experience with Windows Server OS RDP.
MX Linux and Zorin OS are two choices to consider, for Linux OS based desktop experience.
I'm running ZorinOS on a virtualbox as a desktop environment and it's been great. Wondering how it would run on a server without gpu.
I recommend nomachine, it is free and can beat Windows RDP. You can definitely run remote desktop GUI without GPU, however you need to set up a framebuffer like using xvfb.
I agree that NoMachine is a great app for Linux OS based desktop, but nothing beats Windows RDP session using Windows Server OS.
Still looking for it...
Check our Anniversary Special - located in the US and priced at just $3.99/mo it can run Ubuntu via RDP - https://www.wishosting.com/order/main/packages/VPS/?group_id=7
If haven't found something and our packages above is more than you want. Let us know. We can customize it for you.
I have only one vps that is running Linux based desktop …. 2x vCPU Ryzen 7950x / 4 GB
That is the configuration I would suggest you to consider
