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.

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.

Give https://remmina.org/ a shot. Solid RDP connection. I have been using it for a few years and works well with my work laptop (windows). I hated the VNC route.

Isnt Remmina a client only? Or can it be configured to autolaunch a VNC/RDP server?

I use Remmina and it is great as a RDP client. But that is not my issue.

The issue is the way RDP is implemented at the server level.
