I want to apply fedora 38 to a VM in GCP to run in the VM. The thing is I am new to

to remote storage? What is this VNC is that needed?
In this case, Fedora Server isn’t one of the choices available for Compute, those are what
are available:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/os-details
Note: Fedora CoreOS is not like your desktop OS, it’s a minimal OS to run containers (and
kubernetes). If you are looking for something that use fedora tools similar to the
Desktop OS you’ve used (rpm, dnf, etc), you’ll need to follow these instructions:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/import/import-existing-image#console
And use the images available here:

I’ve never don’t this, I don’t have a GCP account, so perhaps there are others on this
list who can comment. You might get more mileage out of using one of the supported OSs.
I suggest CentOS Stream 9, it will be quite similar to Fedora Server.
