RHEL 10 announced that RDP would be the preferred alternative to VNC. Red Hat replaced Spice with VNC in Red Hat 8 due to licensing issues with h.246. VNC is under featured and basic compared to both alternatives. Spice uses proprietary h.246 which caused disputes with licenses. RDP is proprietary to microsoft but has a few foss implementations.

    Reading up on RDP

    Microsoft requires RDP implementers to obtain a patent license

    there it is. good info to dig up jrgd, well done! shame we had to scroll so far in the thread to find these actual proper, highly relevant details.

    well, everyone has to pick their battles, and perhaps RHEL just couldn’t fight this one out.

    but imo i’d much rather see VNC get some upgrades under RHEL than continue the ever increasing microsoft-ization of linux
