Hello Friends

To have remote desktop access through GUI among many OS in Linux I use Remmina as the client. Until here no reason to create this post

But what software is possible to use as client in Windows 10/11 to have remote desktop access in Linux?

Consider you are in the house of a member of your family and you need get access through a GUI to a Linux machine

Thank You

I think I’d try to set up XRDP on my Linux machine, which acts as a server in this case. Then just use Remote Desktop from Windows to connect to it.
I used XRDP before, it’s setup is a bit tricky, but doable.

Thanks for the reply Laszlo

Do you mean about?

There is a problem there, my laptop has Windows 11 Home and for that tool is requested “Pro”. :slightly_frowning_face:

The latest Windows I used was Windows 10 home. It could not act as RDP server, but had the possibility to connect to a server. The “pro” was a requirement to set up RDP server. I have no idea about Windows 11 in this regard.

I’m not sure I understood your question correctly, so clarify please:

  1. You want to see the screen of your Linux machine on a Windows computer, and do something on your Linux computer using the Windows computer as client.
  2. You want to see the screen of your Windows computer, and do some things on your Windows computer using your Linux computer as kind of a terminal.

Which is the goal?

Hi @kovacslt and all, :wave:

Wouldn´t it be safe and simple to use anydesk for things like that :question:

I could help my friend Margret this way (on many occasions).
She uses both a WIN laptop (for school) and a Linux Lite laptop (privately).
On both of them she has installed anydesk and I could provide help from my running Linux Lite instance.

There´s also a dedicated anydesk.profile available for running it within the firejail sandbox (for Linux).

Just a thought. :blush:

Thanks for the replies

Which is the goal?

For example if both are Linux

Linux client (Remmina) ---> Linux Server (Ubuntu Desktop, Debian Desktop, Fedora Workstation)

Thus I have a remote control in 100% from the client to the server … I can see at real time the server as client. Of course I can use the server as if I were locally

Thus

Windows client (????) ---> Linux Server (Ubuntu Desktop, Debian Desktop, Fedora Workstation)

What to install in Windows to get access in Linux as remote
