rdpwrap VS UTM

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

If you have TrollStore then install the HV version of UTM to try for yourself: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/releases/latest/download/UTM.HV.ipa

Researching a little showed that this is basically what can be expected running x86 emulation and the systems will just be wonky and slow, although it was running flawlessly, just slow.

There seem to be ways to use Rosetta2 inside a VM [0] to then translate binaries but I found no official support or documentation (using UTM+QEMU that was), this would be such a cool feature, at least there are discussions about it [1,2]

UTM is open source too though: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM#license

UTM makes it easy to set up and manage macOS and Windows virtual machines. This can be especially useful for developers such as Tauri contributors who need to test their applications across multiple platforms, or for those looking to experiment with different operating systems without affecting their primary system.

If you don't need high performance and want to use the OS only occasionally, check UTM.app, at https://mac.getutm.app/ (or https://github.com/utmapp/UTM ). Free, open source.
