xrdp VS Remmina

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.

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
