Orb is a free and open source web desktop
Not exactly the same thing, but I had good experience with KasmVNC.
Despite having VNC in its name, it isn't fully compliant with the VNC protocol and doesn't support regular VNC clients. Instead, it exposes a web client that you can access to connect to the machine. It also felt surprisingly snappy and nice to use compared to my previous experiences with regular VNC.

Please clarify the licensing of Kasm
- KasmVNC is a standalone open source project that powers the container steaming portion of workspaces - meaning the rendering of the container GUI environment and the keyboard/mouse interaction. KasmVNC can be used in containers, VMs or hardware. It is GPL2. https://github.com/kasmtech/KasmVNC

Kasm has been busy
The rendering for container sessions is powered by our independent open-source project KasmVNC . Here is a video on some of the improvements to the streaming tech we've made in recent months. It shows an example of how performant it can be

Self-Hosted Containerized VDI: Gui Desktop and Application Containers Launched On-Demand and Delivered to Your Browser + Remote access to anything else with SSH/VNC/RDP via Kasm Workspaces - New Release 1.13: 3rd Party Registries / Session Snapshots / AMD & Integrated graphics acceleration
- https://github.com/kasmtech/KasmVNC
Our bread and butter is container streaming, which allows you to instantly provision Linux desktop environments and Gui applications. But we also support remote access to any other machine you may have that are running our open-source project KasmVNC, or SSH, RDP, and traditional VNC.

Desktop Sharing to work from another computer
I'm running Kasmvnc (https://github.com/kasmtech/KasmVNC) on KDE-Neon at the moment.
- What part is open source ?
-
Would it be possible to have a MacOS container?
Kasm expects that it's container images are running KasmVNC . You can see that's one of the steps when we build the "core" images which all of the other images are based on. I see that Docker-OSX can support running a VNC server, but that would need to be swapped with KasmVNC . Without digging in, I'm not sure what the level of effort would be. At glance I can see there are tricks with X11/Display, and its not immediately clear what the interplay is with kvm's vnc capabilities if any.

Port 19302 and 3478
All of the Workspaces Images (e.g Chrome , CentOS) utilize KasmVNC for the browser based rendering of the container. In the latest version for KasmVNC we added the underpinnings for WebRTC UDP transport. Its not fully plumbed into the full Workspaces platform yet, but its usable in KasmVNC standalone.

What do I need to get sound on fixed infrastructure ?
I want KasmVNC + working sound connecting to a fixed infrastructure. What do I need to set this up ? according to this issue https://github.com/kasmtech/KasmVNC/issues/31 , it's available in the commercial kasm server. That's fine and I'm OK to pay for a license, but how does the sound setup work ? I don't see a mention of sound here: https://www.kasmweb.com/docs/latest/how_to.html

Raspberry Pi 5
I've been using one for https://pikvm.org/ and it's been a rare case of "the Raspberry Pi is neither ridiculously overpowered or ridiculously underpowered or beat out by any off the shelf solution, let alone at the same price point". It's literally the best IP KVM I've ever used or owned. The use case is almost a perfect match for the exact hardware capabilities of the Pi: hardware encoding, video input, gigabit network (with Wi-Fi alternative, which has saved me a few times), GPIO, USB OTG, the hat system, open source web KVM software which doesn't suck ass and sit untouched for 13 years with endless security vulnerabilities piling up.

Making a Linux home server sleep on idle and wake on demand – the simple way
Another option is to control a power-hungry NAS with a PiKVM device.
Got the idea from this youtuber[1], he has some nice ideas on setting up a home server.

Totally blind software engineer, searching for a motherboard for a CPU heavy workstation
I think it would be better to explore standalone KVM options like the Asus card on in another motherboard, it just seems to be a standard BMC chip, or something like the PiKVM (https://pikvm.org/) - I think it would make life easier for you if you could find an external solution that works - meaning you could potentially plug and play it on other devices as needed - or even buy multiples.

Any actually useful uses for Raspberry Pi and alternative sbc?
So I got a Libre AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) to play around with but all the ideas I see online are about emulating games, running a nas, running ad blocker, vpn server, 3d printer, website hosting. All these just seem like these would be better to run on an actual server or the ideas are lame, basic, and overused. I just want some useful things that only these single board computers can do to justify their purpose. I like stuff like the PiKVM or wireless usb like VirtualHere. The Arduino has their spot for robotics and what not, but what do SBC have to offer besides being small and broad purpose? Stuff like can I make it auto start my car in the morning, attached it to a pcie port on my pc, make a cellular wifi hotspot modem thing, make a smart tv, make a robot with AI, bypass wifi router settings, make a smart door deadbolt or smart window blinds, AI caht bots, transmit landline calls to the internet, drones with facial recognition, spy balloons, kiss under the bicycle racks in walmart, watch the rat movie that cooks food, ratatoot toot, overthrow the government? Those types of ideas are stuff I see as useful but also I want to look up later if those are something that exists already.

Desktop Sharing to work from another computer
It's not a kvm as you're imagining it. The topology would be your work computer plugged into pikvm, say. There's no fucking about with anything on your computer or moving cables around etc., you simply access your work computer from a browser session on any other device - in your case your computer.
What are some alternatives?
tinypilot - Use your Raspberry Pi as a browser-based KVM.
docker-desktop - A Dockerized light-weight desktop environment accessible from the browser with NoVNC. Firefox Browser included.
DietPi - Lightweight justice for your single-board computer!
docker-idrac6 - iDRAC 6 web interface and VNC proxy
Remmina - Mirror of https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina The GTK+ Remmina Remote Desktop Client
OpenMediaVault - openmediavault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins. openmediavault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices.
pimox - Proxmox for the Raspberry Pi
mistborn
ustreamer - µStreamer - Lightweight and fast MJPEG-HTTP streamer
MJPG-streamer - Fork of http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjpg-streamer/
budibase - Budibase is an open-source low code platform that helps you build internal tools in minutes 🚀
