Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What’s the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine.
I’m a bit of a linux novice, but trying to do more.
xrdp tends to work well enough, and plays nicely with both the windows remote desktop application and various Linux clients
I have been using xrdp on the “server” and remmina on the “clients”. Both ends worked beautifully “out of the box” (i.e. apt install). Occasionally I might have had to open the firewall for xrdp?
I use xrdp and remmina as well. I don’t open ports though, I just use my VPN to get into my home network first. much safer
If xrdp works well enough, NoMachine us blazing fast in comparison. Have you given it a try?
Once but it was a long time ago
NoMachine is what you’re looking for. Full login remote desktop multiplatform solution like rdp/xrdp, but wayyy smoother.
SSH or RustDesk
RustDesk
With the shit they pulled on ‘fixing’ wayland support i would not recommend using their code ever.

I haven’t done this in years but I’ve always found open source solutions to this to be quite clunky and usually barely worked. What always just worked fine for me was Teamviewer. Yeah it’s proprietary and has crappy licensing but it’s mostly a smooth ride.
Do try the open source options first tho, it’s quite possible they got way better in the last few years since I’ve done this.
RustDesk Has worked pretty well for me on the rare occasions I need it.
That looks great, and it gets bonus points for being written in Rust. Thanks for sharing this.
With ssh, but you will only have access to the shell
Wait till you learn about the -X option ;)
If you want something similar to teamviewer, you have rustdek
Wait, better not. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/1675
I’ve been using Rust Desk for a few months now and it’s awesome. Works on Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
It’s open source and super easy to setup and configure. For limited use cases, you can just use their freely provided servers, but you can also host your own server if you want.
I’ve been really impressed with the connection speeds and features, it has everything I need including end-to-end encryption for all network traffic, so your remote connection is at far less risk of getting snooped.
I was looking into rust desk. It looked like the perfect solution for remotly helping my family members. The problem is I have them running silverblue. I don’t think rust desk supports Wayland. There is a experimental way I was going to try, but I’m not sure how to install it since its not in Fedora repo or flatpak.

my dudes, I am dissapoint
https://cockpit-project.org/but ok, yes, for actual remote desktop, VNC or RustDesk, despite RustDesk being some open-core implementation that holds the good stuff in the proprietary release. At least it was when I last checked it out.
I don’t think OP is looking to remote into servers here, personally for servers ssh is great but for accessing my laptop from desktop/vice versa the terminal can be a bit awkward when there are applications with no cli behind them which is where a graphical remote desktop comes in handy
