What's a good RDP Server on Linux?
By good I mean one that would give an experience at least somewhat close to RDP on Windows. All the ones I've tried have been orders of magnitude away.
A good one should also allow for a key RDP feature which is to seamlessly transition between physical and remote desktop sessions. Meaning, I log in to my desktop at home, I leave and log in via RDP and get the same desktop session, which I can again resume when I get back home.
This is either not possible or doesn't work well last time I tested xrdp and friends.
Of course, if things has changed in the last year or so, I'd be delighted to hear about it. A good RDP server for Linux is what's keeping me from transitioning away from Windows on my main machine.
This works with x2go.
Ah, I don't think I even got that far with x2go. Dismissed it due to performance.
But good to know!
If you mean better than anything else available on Linux, you're probably right.
The problem is that it's still an order or magnitude behind Windows-to-Windows RDP, which is my benchmark.
But thanks for reminding me, I'll give it another whirl.
But, RDP's bandwidth efficiency on Windows is unbeatable AFAIK. I wish the Linux and macOS world had something like that.
I don't like the forced cloud mediation either, but the protocol is just so much better, almost comically better, than NoMachine, RDP-over-macOS, VNC, X11-forwarding, Screen Sharing.app, etc.
I wish they did offer Cloudless in their regular version.
