Trying to figure out where to get and how to install KVM Windows guest drivers on Fedora. Thought there'd be a simple .iso or something to install it from, doesn't appear that way and is looking like it will be a pain.
That's the most recent stable version of the virtio drivers. If you're looking for SPICE drivers (if you're using Virt-manager) then go here. https://www.spice-space.org/download.html
This put me on the right track (I think), thanks!
I just did this process two days ago so feel free to post a new topic and a few of us who have done it recently will comment. If you run into trouble.

Which model did you get? How many nodes?

A small one. an 1150 with only 3 nodes.

Cool. How much RAM on that?

384G
It's going in a small area that doesn't need a ton of virtualized resources.

Not bad. The 1150 is often the high memory density choice, perfect for the majority of workloads.

I really wanted the one with over 1TB of RAM, but $130K was a little much for what we need.

I think that you can tune up the 1150 to that for a bit less than that.

Turning on and destroying vmz on vultr.com. Currently Fedora 25 with Hawaii desktop is installing. Never even heard of this desktop. It is Wayland based.

Oh the fun of data - dumping 150GB from one TB drive to another TB drive so I have swap drives in my laptop. ... Dang thing has been downloading (and thus grinding my gears) the 2017-05 Cumulative Update for Win 10 ver 1607 (KB4019472) for about an hour now...
Ugh.. Windows....

I've heard about it, but only a little. Really know nothing about it.

Wayland
I've heard of Wayland but have no experience with it. I remember seeing a big announcement not too long ago about a new version.

It's the default as of Fedora 25.

It's kind of boring as technologies go, it's basically a more modern X11 replacement. Which is exciting as we need to replace old X11, but it doesn't "do" anything that you'd notice.

Interesting. I'm running Korora (because I like the Cinnamon DE) but I may have to check that out.

No more X11 forwarding. AFAIK It doesn't support network transparency yet
