How do I get an RDP server running on KDE Wayland?
Or maybe it could be done through xrdp somehow?
-
Ubuntu ---> Fedora. This time I really doing it.
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.

Linux Terminalserver - Virtual Desktops - Nomachine alternatives
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.

Extremely high CPU running RDP to Ubuntu Studio 22.04 on Hyper-V VM 🚨💡
This may help. https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xrdp/issues/2034

WSL is amazing 😃🤓
Indeed, this was... 2002? or so (xrdp)[http://www.xrdp.org/] was still not available.
- Can anyone tell me why does it show different versions?
-
RealVNC alternative? Need to GUI via VPN.
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.

Is there a way to set up a computer to delete all files after logging off?
You can set up your machine to PXE boot and use something like LTSP to serve the OS. Configure without local storage, or optionally use the local storage only to cache the OS download from the server.
