I got RHEL10 installed, but it took a bit of reading. I also had to research how to get RDP connection going on my Windows 11 desktop. Once that happened, I was able to install it, but it was a learning curve. Also was a learning curve due to changes in the parameter file compared to RHEL 9.

Wayland. I've been concerned about this for a long time already, that Wayland adoption will render certain features/functions unavailable. There's no fighting the Wayland wave. X11 is long in the tooth and has always been too chatty. (Though fears about security are inflated.) My argument is rather that the Wayland implementers will be more diligent ... that they would be thorough. In this case, it's the installer developers, but similar admonition: don't break stuff! (and RDP seems broken) I'm not sure any of this would help VNC because (from all I can tell) VNC is inherently X11. But there IS some accommodation for X11 in the Wayland world, and maybe that just needs to grow. Back, then, to the installer coders: don't kill off the VNC option!
