rustdesk VS Remmina

Remote Desktop (RustDesk)

RustDesk uses Rust + Flutter for desktop.

Have you tried proxying it via nginx using the stream module? I saw this and after a brief wtf google moment, saw an issue on github where they outline using it.

I recently found Rustdesk while looks pretty promising. The ID server is selfhostable, I finally got rid of my TeamViewer subscription...

Install RustDesk (https://rustdesk.com) on your MacMini. Write down the ID #, and the Password.

Downloaded the 64bit installer + portable at https://rustdesk.com/

I come across RustDesk on GitHub's "Trending" page a lot. It looks pretty cool.

I use a lot of different remote access apps to connect to clients' machines, both free and paid for. The best free ones I use are RustDesk, DW Agent and NoMachine. All free and no "commercial use" bullshit to put up with. The only one of these with limitations is NoMachine which only allows one connection at a time. Rustdesk closely functions the same way as TeamViewer and DW Agent is browser-based only. I also use the paid versions of RemotePC, LogMeIn and Anydesk but the three, free versions listed work just as well as the paid version with no limitations (other than NoMachine)

Remmina

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.

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.

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.

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)

Depending on the Linux distro, you'll have a built in viewer or you can try another one. I personally like Remmina

I also experimented a lot with remote desktop solutions.

For client, I use:

- Remmina - https://remmina.org/

- Apache Guacamole (HTML5, browser based) - https://guacamole.apache.org/

For RDP Server on Linux I use:

- X11: xrdp - for a KDE guide, see https://pilabor.com/blog/2021/05/remote-desktop-with-xrdp-an...

- Wayland / GNOME: Already integrated (beta, some caveats) - for a guide, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/-/snippets/1778

Further notes:

- RDP Server on Linux is very fiddly to get working reliable, while on X11 systems I found xrdp pretty straight forward

- On modern GNOME systems the RDP server is already integrated, but there is a lot of missing stuff and I did not find a solution for a working RDP after reboot

- Remmina as RDP client is good, but it takes some fiddling, if you are using HiDPI

- Guacamole is not as good, but I use it as backup, which works in the browser
