What is Reddit's opinion of
Remmina?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
27 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
We use Netbox, along with a python script to generate connections for Remmina.
For our layer 3, we us a Google Sheet -- one tab for each router. All static routes , SVIs etc are on in sections. We use Google Labels for each section range. Then I have a python script that pulls that info into a jinja config template, and an ansible playbook that can be modified to push the config changes should we need them; the playbook includes backing up the current config in a git repo.
For visual layout, I've used Google sheets, coloring in cells like a giant 8-bit map. I also use Lucid Chart. I've also drawn the diagram on a napkin. All have been used.
for anyone who's coming to this later on: remmina

I am not a dev or anything, I use it regularly and like it.
Windows 10 will install fine as a StandaloneVM via ISO. But you won't be able to use the Windows Guest Tools, since they don't support anything other than Windows 7.
You also won't have audio output from that Windows HVM. But, a method I use to get around this is to use a second AppVM & run Remmina to remote into the Windows 10 HVM via RDP. This is pretty simple to setup. You just need to run a few iptables commands in sys-firewall & the Remmina Windows RDP AppVM in order to allow network connectivity between the two VMs. After enabling RDP in Windows 10 of course.
Doing this will allow the Dragon dictation software to work with Audio output.
If Mint 19 works fine, use it
Ubuntu packages should work since Mint is based on Ubuntu
NTFS can be read as can other filesystems
System Monitor can visually show resource usage and there is umpteen other programs
RDP (and other protocols) client https://remmina.org/
See those 3 lines in the black box. Copy/paste them to a terminal. That's called a PPA. PPA's have programs that you can install. Install the program.
Mint is Ubuntu.
>Looks like the culprit was the Chrome Remote Desktop package. I forgot I had tested this, and attempted to configure it for a remote connection from Windows but quickly have up. When I purged the package all is well, no more double log out. I did just now read that this app is garbage on Linux..
Use Remmina for RDP, I use it all the time for headless Windows installs ;).
That or AnyDesk if I need to remotely connect to something outside of my local network ;).
Unfortunately you cant run graphical applications inside Windows containers at the moment so we currently can't publish Windows Apps or Desktops in the same fashion we do with Linux.
One thing you can do however, is utilize an RDP client like Remmina, and create connection profiles for your legacy apps. When users launch the Remmina image can automatically connects to that legacy app.

I use realvnc on my linux to linux setups, and find it very useable.
Not sure how Remmina works. https://remmina.org/remmina-features/
it seems it has several methods it can use, on a local network, vnc may be good enough. Or it could be some issue on the Mac Side of things.
Check out Remmina SpiceQt but an GTK app though, but as it uses Spice rather than VNC, it should be much faster.
I also had issues connecting from a non-domain desktop. (In my case, a Debian Linux desktop)
Here's what I did to get RDP working again, may or may not work for you (if you/anyone reading this also happens to have this happening on a Linux-based desktop):
Setup Kerberos on the Linux client (example setup/config): https://www.thegeekstuff.com/2014/05/install-kerberos-server/ - server is not needed; I only installed the
krb5-userpackage on my desktop.In my RDP client (I use Remmina, I had to make a few adjustments:
- Under Basic:
- Domain must be specified
- FQDN under server must be used; using IP addresses fails
- Under Advanced:
- Security protocol negotiation must be set to TLS protocol security
- Under Basic:
Based on the replied-to post, I suspect you're on Windows. Does this work for you? - setting it to vulnerable seems insane, but if this is indeed the cause, perhaps it'll lead you to a fix ?
you can try : https://remmina.org/
for all in one GUI solution for SSH, RDP, VNC.

I am personally using terminal with ssh command, but I can see why you might want to have list of connections to select from.

Whether to have a GUI or not on a server aside (I'm in the camp of no if possible) .....
But to answer the question:
This can/could be an option for type of remote access you are looking for.https://remmina.org/
Regading a small DE. LxQT can be an option or even smaller just install X, followed by a WM like Openbox, IceWM, i3 etc.....
Remmina. It's a GNU/Linux primarily, but can be used via the Windows Linux Subsystem in Windows if necessary. It's free and open source, and supports most remote desktop protocols.
I use Remina. I use it to access my work laptop on my much larger Manjaro workstation screen when I'm working at home. It is insanely easy to setup and use. Give it a shot.
I found links in your comment that were not hyperlinked:
I did the honors for you.

I routinely connect to my Windows VMs from Kubuntu 18.04 using either Remmina or KRDC (both are RDP clients for Linux).
Obvious caveat is to make sure your security is set up properly, for example, use the networking tab in Azure (VM) to only allow RDP access from specific IP addresses. Your needs may vary, but make sure you're restricting access.
For Chrome OS, you can Chrome RDP which works well with Windows Servers. There is 7-day free trial, $10 one-time purchase afterwards.

If you don’t mind getting geeky, CloudReady supports Debian Virtual Machine via Crostini so you can install Remmina or any other Debian package.
Remmina: https://remmina.org/screenshots/
It’s a client for Remote Desktop access.
RDP should be fine as long as you’re not moving tons of data over your ISP connection. RDP doesn’t take that much bandwidth. Worst case, throw in a Cable connection if possible and maybe segregate some of the junk traffic (Netflix, streaming radio, etc) over the Cable connection. Added benefit of failover connection.
This is something I'm doing for a new Remmina plugin, but in Gtk+.
I've used WebKit to implement the browser that is rendered in a special Gtk window, that is part of Remmina.
The next step will be to implement the webdriver interface. WebKit support it natively.
If you want to help and learn I'll be happy to guide you .
For the context Remmina is a remote desktop client, the www plugin is used to administer web based administration consoles and the webdriver part is supposed to be used to automate adminstration tasks.
I swear this is not self advertisement ;-)
I haven't used many Debian distros outside of Raspbian, but I DuckDuckGo'd it and found this:
> Remmina is available in the official repository (testing and unstable) and in the backports for the Debian Stretch (stable).
Debian Stable (Stretch)
Remmina is not available on Debian stable (Stretch) through the default Debian repositories.
The Debian Backports repository must be enabled to install it, see this blog post for more information.
To install Remmina from Debian Backports, just copy and paste the following lines on a terminal window:
(the site has the code, it's just 3 lines for adding the backports repo. Nothing too complicated)
Looks like it's doable, maybe just a bit of work to get it up and running.
>I just need it locally
Is it safe to say you are just doing RDP across your LAN and not WAN?
Could you also clarify, what machine/OS you are remoting from and what machine/OS you are remoting to?
This is an excellent Linux RDP client software: https://remmina.org/
To setup a Linux box to accept RDP connections I have only ever used xrdp on RHEL/CentOS, so not sure how it works on other distros. Its basically as simple as install package, enable service, open port 3389 on the machines firewall/reload firewall and then connect in (after setting SEL policy if needed).
Keep in mind RDP default port is 3389, so if you are using that you need to have that port open on the machine you want to RDP into (or whatever custom port you have set to use RDP over).
How do I get to that screen? My Remmina client looks like this (this is just a screenshot I found online), but nothing ever shows up in the main window under the headings (Name, Server, Plugin, etc.). I type the IP address of the machine I want to access in the box next to "RDP" and enter my credentials and connect successfully. However, nothing ever shows up in that main window, and I don't see a way to save the connection or create a profile.
>I have a RTX 2060 6GB and was wondering if it's backward compatible in Linux.
Linux has drivers. Nothing backward about it. Every distro has an nvidia driver repository/package.
>Also I have dual-gaming monitors (75hz) I'd imagine that would support it if I join it.
Yes. Nvidia-settings to configure.
>I do want to be able to still remote in via RDP
As you stated,
Notepad++ is Windows-only, I believe, so you'll need to use Sublime. Alternatively VSCode is cross-platform, and seems to be wildly popular, ditto Atom.
Most of what you are asking for is based on qt, so you can pretty much just pick a desktop manager and carry on. You're almost asking for a religious war at this point, since nothing you need is only available from a specific desktop manager.
Strongly recommend Remmina for RDP replacement.
Test it against RDP, since you are using windows.
I'm not sure how to quantify it as a bug when your network link is saturated with 4 speed tests and video streaming at the same time. The link is going to need some kind of bandwidth.
Ok, can you try our PPA?
Be sure to completely remove Remmina and freerdp before to reinstall it from the PPA
