From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah I'm using it with X-Forwarding currently for that but I have found that RDP/VNC are a bit more responsive for some stuff.
That and there's one Debian host I've got which periodically crashes back to lightdm when accessed via virt-manager, but works fine via xRDP.
That's not what I meant. The virtual manager application on your device can connect to a remote instance of libvirtd over ssh. The effect is you get a local desktop app that can manage remote virtualization.
So virt-manager binary run locally but connecting to the remote host. I've done that before on Linux but haven't seen a binary/client available for other OS's
Oh, I just assumed you were on Linux
Linux Desktop, Android Phone, sometimes Windows if I'm hitting something from work etc
