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

FreeRDP: A Remote Desktop Protocol Implementation
https://remmina.org/
The promise behind this sounds like the holy grail of Remote Access.
Is it Linux-only for the clients? Or can you use Mac or Windows to reach it?

"I need to test something on a Mac real quick", as solved by AWS EC2
Next up, we need some sort of VNC client on our workstation. I strongly recommend Remmina if you value not spending your time debugging and configuring things. Just select "VNC" from the main connection bar's dropdown, punch in localhost:5900, and hit enter. An authentication screen will pop up: fill it with ec2-user for the username, and whatever password you provided to dscl earlier.

Go To Software/Tools for Programmers
On linux I use remmina to do basically the same thing. I actually think remmina is better, it's really too bad it's linux only.
-
Today I'm going to install Linux on my parents computer. Need help to set it up for easy remote management.

What are some linux utilities/tools/apps you would want to have, that don't exist and think would be really useful.
There is Remmina, but I am not sure it will satisfy your needs. It would be nice to have a well made cross-platform ssh connections manager for people who connect to a lot of servers.

Xpra: Multi-platform screen and application forwarding system for x11
I had good results using Remmina (https://remmina.org/) for RDP to a Windows host from a Raspberry Pi. The only thing that let it down at the time was a lack of "clean" multi-monitor support. I'm not sure if it's been improved in the year since I last tried, but you could fudge it by creating a single window that was 2x monitors wide.
- Is there a way to easily extend my display in mint cinnamon to another PC, using ethernet cable?
-
What are you using for Remote Desktop + SSH client?
Well, i type 'ssh' for ssh in my terminal :) You probably mean a gui for everything together, right? I use Remmina for the windows remotes I have to use at work sometimes from my Linux machine, works good enough and supports all protocols you listed.
-
Need some recommendations for remote management
I guess Remmina or Ásbrú Connection Manager is worth trying out. Ásbrú seems to be more a universal tool for all types of connections, while Remmina only focus on remote desktop. I've only used Remmina myself, and it does what it's supposed to (tested it with RDP, VNC and SPICE)

can i remote access windows desktop from linux laptop?
Depending on the Linux distro, you'll have a built in viewer or you can try another one. I personally like Remmina
