AWS dcv: DCV Linux install guide: editorial cleanup and OS version updates
Summary
Rewrites headings and wording, drops support for SLES 12.x, Ubuntu 20.04, and Rocky Linux 8.5, replaces yum with dnf commands, corrects RPM/deb package descriptions, and fixes the GPG key naming from 'NICE GPG key' to 'Amazon DCV GPG key'. No new security guidance is introduced.
Security assessment
The only security-adjacent line is a pre-existing statement about GPG package signature verification, changed merely to rename 'NICE GPG key' to 'Amazon DCV GPG key'. All other edits are editorial (headings, wording), package-manager command updates (yum->dnf), and removal of end-of-life OS versions (SLES 12.x, Ubuntu 20.04, Rocky 8.5). No vulnerability, CVE, or new security control is documented.
Evidence
+ 2. The Amazon DCV server packages are digitally signed with a secure GPG signature. To allow the package manager to verify the package signature, you must import the Amazon DCV GPG key. To do so, open a terminal window and import the Amazon DCV GPG key.
