Overview of Standalone Desktops

First off, in DaDesktop, what exactly is a Standalone Desktop?

We have a detailed guide to the various Desktop types available. To put it concisely, a 'Standalone' desktop is a machine that you don't necessarily use during a course. Rather, it's a separate desktop that you can work with before or after a course, or simply use independently, without any tie to a specific course.
This makes the Standalone exceptionally versatile.

Standalone Machine

 

 

 

Common reasons you might create a Standalone desktop:
  1. Preparing training course materials that you can reuse repeatedly outside of any course, or keep on hand for whenever you need them.
  2. When you require a flexible machine—maybe with a different operating system (Linux, Windows)—to safely test out ideas.
     
Features:
  1. Sharing Links grant complete access to anyone who has the link!
  2. If left idle, they automatically shut down after 24 hours.
Cost:
  1. Creating a desktop is free of charge.
  2. Starting a desktop incurs a cost.
  3. The price is determined by the number of units you select, which is based on CPU, Memory, and Disk Space. Windows instances come with an additional charge.
  4. If you enroll in a course as a Student or Trainer, you'll receive free credits that can be applied to standalone desktops.
  5. If you don't connect to your standalone for more than a month, it will be deleted.

 

Usage Tip:

Begin your search with "clonefrom#" and then a keyword to find desktops that were cloned from other desktops.
