Does gnome-remote-desktop provide the server/service or is it client only ? If it is the server side, can it support Windows clients connecting via rdp ?
It is the server software, and yes Windows clients can connect to it.
That said, KDE Plasma 6 will include support for RDP too when using Plasma Wayland.
More details are in this blog post: https://quantumproductions.info/articles/2023-08/remote-desktop-using-rdp-pr...
Hopefully Plasma 6 will arrive later this year. :)
Interesting, I wonder whether gnome-remote-desktop would work with KDE instead of Gnome? Thanks for the link and info on KDE Plasma 6, I just read the article you sent. One comment in the article raises a concern: However, the current implementation is fairly limited, only allowing you to choose to accept or reject a remote desktop request. That sounds like how Windows RDP works on the non server products where you cannot be logged in locally and have a RDP session as another user at the same time. That functionality requires Windows Server. Windows Pro allows 1 RDP session but you cannot be logged on locally at the same time, but there have been various hacks over the years to make it bypass that restriction on Windows Pro. Windows Home only has the RDP client and no RDP server at all. With the xrdp package, I have multiple clients using RDP into the linux box at the same time that I am using the desktop locally so no need to prompt to accept or reject the request as they each have their own session. That functinonlity is critical for me. Does gnome-remote-desktop allow multiple RDP sessions to co-exist at the same time as well as a user logged on locally ? -- Regards, Joe
