Remmina VS rdpwrap

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?

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.

Remmina

Using RD Client on DeX to RDP in to Windows. Sometimes i use self-hosted Remmina to get access for Windows, Linux, CLI and other things.

I use the Remmina RDP Client multiple hours per day every day to connect to various servers on both my home and work networks.

I would try out a Windows VM on your home server and use the RDP protocol to connect to it with https://remmina.org/ or https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Vinagre . (Will need a Windows Pro version for enabling remote access with RDP.)

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.

You can use RDP, it's already installed in Fedora. (Assuming Gnome/Wayland), you go to Settings > Sharing, and enable Remote Desktop. It'll generate a new password for access by default. I only use with MS Remote Desktop from a Mac, but I think people generally like Remmina as a client.

MobaXterm on Windows or Remmina on Linux. Remmina should also work on Windows through WSL. Though haven't tested it that way

maybe https://remmina.org/

Try this if you want to enable the remote desktop server on the home edition: https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap

You didn’t mention which OS your parents run, but if it’s Windows then you can use RDP (Remote Desktop Host). The normal RDP program that comes pre-installed on a non-server version of windows doesn’t allow concurrent users (I.e. if you were to open an RDP session while one of your parents was using the computer, it would log them off in order to log you in). However, someone created a workaround on GitHub…I installed it and it works great! Only issue is you have to remember to sign out EVERYtime otherwise it tends to just create new log in sessions for each user.

i use home win11 with https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases it work great

The same post also mentions another open source software that supposedly do the same thing without patching the system. But it looks unmaintained 2018 and the readme mentions that it could not work with newer Windows 10 versions. Also this is definitely violating the EULA as well.

There's https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap with which you can enable remote desktop on a Home edition of Windows.

The Aster software is really interesing! I am kinda looking for a simultanous workstation use. I used to use [this](https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap) hack that allows simultaneus RDP sessions. Not ideal for gaming but for work stuff is good. Might try this out when I build a workstation for work so my team can remote connect and work on their own windows accounts on the workstation, at the same time. But RDP sucks, Sunshine would outperform this. But its better because i dont need to have multiple Sunshine instances running per account (i think thats what would be needed for seperated simultaneous users).

Install rdpwrap, it makes rdp work on home edititions.

You could also just use RDP, you'll probably need this wrapper: https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap
