The post includes “a sample of a reliable configuration.” Reliable configuration for how many users doing what type of work?
The Config I have listed in the article is dependent on the type of work of the users. If 2D to light 3D this could support around 20-24 users. Add a few more GPUs and you can get a bit higher than that. As you get more and more users on the host the CPU tends to be the bottleneck.
Question regarding this comment on AppStream:
“***Note***This solution can be very good for classroom settings, however for long-term users, or advanced users who work on a project over longer periods this is not ideal.”
In what context is this being made because AppStream just provides application emulation suffice it is configured correctly it can easily replace desktops in nearly all situations?
Very nice blog thanks for sharing useful information.
