    Remote desktop working like it does in windows.

    • easy to setup and use
    • can remote into a system that has been recently rebooted. Without needing to make the user auto login and set the keychain password to be blank.
    • resolution scales to remote client interface

    I love linux and it is really all I use but RDP support is severly worse than windows.

      What do you need RDP for? I did everything i ever needed to do remotely via SSH (I mean this as a genuine question, not that we shouldn’t have better RDP support)

        A lot of proprietary engineering software (CAD, MATLAB, etc) or GUI heavy programs have poor or no terminal interface to work with, so the need remote desktop solution is valid

        I should be able to use my system wirelessly without having to connect it up. I was running baduk (weiqi/go) simulations on the GPU and I wanted to see live output on the board instead of staring at some SSH’d numbers

        I can do anything I “need” to via ssh. But I would really like the convenience.

        At work they monitor web traffic and block vpns, but they dont block ssh. So I use an ssh tunnel to rdp to my home system so I can easily look something up, navigate to the web interface of one of my self hosted apps, or get a torrent downloading at home.

      Setting up vnc is not as easy as it should be. I really wish it as just send auth, if auth create virtual display and perf devices as user that actually sends it to remote client, user sees desktop env loaded.
