CentOS with GUI Desktop

Deploy Your Cloud Linux Desktop in Just One Click!

Launch a virtual machine with this ready-to-use image and start your own Linux desktop in the cloud in under 5 minutes. This server image includes the Xfce Desktop Environment for CentOS Stream 9. Connect to the virtual machine's Graphical User Interface via Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) or Virtual Network Computing (VNC). The hostname for connection is the public IP address of the virtual machine. The initial password for RDP and VNC is the virtual machine name assigned during launch. The installations on the virtual machine are kept minimal — only the GUI desktop environment and Mozilla Firefox are preinstalled — ensuring a clean and lightweight operating system.

"Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and low on system resources, while still being visually appealing and user friendly." - xfce.org
