I would like to set up a workstation in a network closet with no

What's the best way to do that in Fedora 38, and is there a good source
of documentation someplace? The GNOME desktop sharing facility requires
that the connection be to an active session logged in on the console.
Googling hasn't been much help for recent distros.
For headless server administration, the admin typically just SSH into
the box and administers from the command line. That's because servers
usually lack the GUI packages, and admins are usually adept at the
command line.
If you want a remote desktop, and you have a machine that provides a
GUI or desktop, then I believe VLC server or RealVNC is what you are
looking for.
