Hi,

There are 2 projects that allow remoting a "non-virtual" desktop:
   Xspice and x11spice

Currently, AFAIK, there is only a Linux implementation.
Theoretically, there can be implementations for other operating systems.

One can, for example, install x11spice on a Fedora Gnome PC and access
it from a Windows 10 PC running remote-viewer.
