Remote desktop working like it does in windows.

  • easy to setup and use
  • can remote into a system that has been recently rebooted. Without needing to make the user auto login and set the keychain password to be blank.
  • resolution scales to remote client interface

I love linux and it is really all I use but RDP support is severly worse than windows.

I use rdp on Linux every day. It works as good as windows does. I am confused by this.

Unless you are not using RDP literally, and just mean remote desktop in general. Because RDP is not really a linux thing, even though I use it every day to connect to Windows machines (and the cloud) using a Linux client.

The only issue I have with RDP and linux (and have clients ask about) is the multimonitor support under wayland.

Which server are you using on linux? How did you configure autostart?

[-] beirdobaggins@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I use the one built into Gnome but I have run into even more issues trying to install and use other ones.

[-] redd@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

that one does support autostart?

[-] beirdobaggins@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

~yes~ But not in any way that makes it useful. It starts when the user logs into the computer locally. If I was going to do that I wouldn't need a remote session.

You can set the account to login automatically, but this doesn't unlock the keychain which is needed to decrypt the user's RDP password. So you can do it but you need to set your account to login automatically and set your keychain password to be blank.

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.
