Remmina

Remmina is a remote desktop client written in GTK+, aiming to be useful for system administrators and travellers, who need to work with lots of remote computers in front of either large monitors or tiny netbooks.
Pricing:
- Open Source
I also experimented a lot with remote desktop solutions. For client, I use: - Remmina - https://remmina.org/ - Apache Guacamole (HTML5, browser based) - https://guacamole.apache.org/ For RDP Server on Linux I use: - X11: xrdp - for a KDE guide, see https://pilabor.com/blog/2021/05/remote-desktop-with-xrdp-and-kubuntu/ - Wayland / GNOME: Already integrated (beta, some caveats) - for a guide, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/-/snippets/1778 Further notes: - RDP Server on Linux is very fiddly to get working reliable, while on X11 systems I found xrdp pretty straight forward - On modern GNOME systems the RDP server is already integrated, but there is a lot of missing stuff and I did not find a solution for a working RDP after reboot - Remmina as RDP client is good, but it takes some fiddling, if you are using HiDPI - Guacamole is not as good, but I use it as backup, which works in the browser.

Guacamole

Access your computers from anywhere. Because the Guacamole client is an HTML5 web application, use of your computers is not tied to any one device or location. As long as you have access to a web browser, you have access to your machines.

Xpra

multi-platform screen and application forwarding system
Pricing:
- Open Source
Try http://xpra.org/ - that's a "gnu screen" for X11, but bandwidth-optimized, can also relay USB, audio, ... Just to give you an idea: I used it for forwarding a Firefox window across an UMTS connection when sitting in a train. (Long story: 32bit Java required to remote desktop into a client's environment across the Atlantic, ugh.).
