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.
