No x11 in Ubuntu 25.10 means no (easy) VNC

While my 2-3 local Ubuntu servers are mostly managed via SSH CLI, it is helpful to have visual access particularly for programs that need mouse interaction. With Ubuntu 25.10, Canonical is moving away from x11 (for a variety of reasons.)

Now Ubuntu can use the RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) but the password rotates on reboot which, makes things difficult.

Maybe Spice would work?

(To be followed up on.)
