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.

What's the best way to remote into a linux machine? (lemmy.ml)

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.

Nyfure is right. Wayland support is experimental but has been added to Rust Desk since earlier this year.

I haven't tested it on Wayland myself, and remote login isn't yet supported according to their GitHub documentation, but if you just need a reliable way to provide remote support to your fam, it's a really solid option.

Wayland is quickly becoming the standard, and Rust Desk seems to be on that train which is good. I wouldn't be surprised to see full Wayland support or close to it by the end of next year.

Also, I just use the .appimage file and it works fine for me. Just make sure to set it as executable with chmod +x or in the file permissions tab in your GUI.

Oh! I didn't see that app image was an option. I'm definitely going to give it a try now. For my use case I don't need remote login so that works out fine. Thanks.
