Whenever I try to remote into my Linux machines I get an image that looks like attached the. Remotings into Windows works fine. Do u have to use another application? What do y'all recommend?

    I'll add a requirement. That supports remotes running Wayland.

      Yep, this is what I use too. The display quality can drop if you've got a slow connection, but it works well.

      The downsides are, I don't think it's FOSS, but it is free for home use, and if a machine has been off for long enough to drop off the connection list, you have to wait for NoMachine to detect it again. It needs a way to force it to check for systems instead of waiting.

        It is indeed not FOSS. I should have asked OP how important that is - some people need a robust, ready-to-roll solution, preferably non-Microsoft, others a full FOSS license and figure stuff out on their own. Someone else mentioned X2Go, I have no experience with it but it is worth a look.

      You should replace 'You...'' in your response with 'From an ideal security standpoint one...'.

      OP obviously does want to RDP to their machine, they stated as such. For most people, accessing a desktop-class machine from a mobile device isn't a significant issue.

      It's this kind of gatekeeping that keeps newcomers away from Linux.
