displaylink-rpm VS xrdp

For the driver, I download this rpm and installed it. While it froze at the end, after a reboot, it worked.

Now, it's much easier to enable the Fusion repository and Envycontrol makes it as easy as Ubuntu to switch GPUs! I also use DisplayLink for additional monitors and there is now a 3rd party rpm for that.

Doing a quick search for "displaylink Fedora" on brave. These are the first 2 results and look pretty simple:

https://kcore.org/2023/01/01/installing-evdi-fedora37/ (should work on the latest Fedora 38)

Hope you next time do some research before making any statement. https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm

Appears to be broken on 6.2.x kernels (github issue).

AFAIK this driver is not completely open source. But I assume this issue was created by you? Then I'm afraid you can't do any more besides going back to a 6.1.x kernel.

I'm losing wifi and all animations after installing the evdi display link drivers from the following link: https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm/releases

DisplayLink - you will need to get the DisplayLink RPM out-of-kernel driver; if you want to continue using SecureBoot then you'll need to enroll a MOK and get that all set up as part of the build. More details over there.

If you used another method, especially if you did this setup manually, consider building and installing the source rpm here instead: https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm

xrdp

Or maybe it could be done through xrdp somehow?

Part of the reason that RDP isn't better is because it's not an open protocol, part of the reason is because the protocol was built to present a desktop environment that isn't remotely like xorg or Wayland. A lot of the reason is that the RDP project just doesn't get enough effort, because people have multiple ways of sharing desktops, and RDP is just one of them. If you would like to fix that, here's the (currently) 274 open bugs against the Linux attempt to implement RDP https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues

Check out xrdp. You can connect then via any rdp client.

If you're willing to compile there are patches to xrdp to include some performance improvements that make a huge difference (more modern codecs). Tracking issue with instructions is here https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/1422 it's quite long, so I'd start reading closer to the bottom. Performance has been really good in my testing.

This may help. https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/2034

Indeed, this was... 2002? or so (xrdp)[http://www.xrdp.org/] was still not available.

So... just use Remote Desktop. A popular open source version of RDP is XRDP, which is packaged and available for installation on most popular distributions. Just install it, let it start up the xrdp service, and then connect to it just like it was a Windows server. That's it.
