From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Just install xrdp, do
xrdp <url>, be done?That is operating under the assumption that you aren't using Wayland, as far as I could determine after a few hours of tinkering the only way to get a remote desktop to work under Wayland is by using an app that queries the xdg portal since Wayland's harden permissions will stop xwayland based remote desktop solutions.
I use rustdesk over LAN for my remote desktop which has been rather stable and quick, although I don't know the exact protocol that it uses, so if rdp is necessary I wouldn't know of that is satisfactory for op's needs.
Run a xrdp X-kiosk in tbe next tty?
I don't know what a x-kiosk is, that might work, in any case if someone is on gnome or KDE, any solutions that rely on x11 will be deprecated in 2 & 3 major versions respectively
