What's the best way to remote into a linux machine?
What's the best way to remote into a linux machine?
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
It also doesn’t require a session to be logged in at the local console.
Yeah that's true. I think some VNC options can start at the DM login screen but that's a passion to setup and may not be overly secure
I honestly thought this was the default/classic answer, and am surprised at how far down it was.
I too just started Linux 2 weeks ago, and my search results led me to xrdp on host, and remmina on client.
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
