• Cool but Obscure X11 Apps

  One of my favorite bits of software is Xpra [0], "screen for X". You'd run it and it would start another X server (start apps in it with `DISPLAY=:1 xterm` or whatever), and you would "attach" it to your running X server with `xpra attach`. You can attach to e.g. `ssh://hostname/:1`, so I ran a firefox instance on a homelab server and attached to it from my laptop and my desktop to not have to bother keeping... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Alternatives To X2go?

  I’ve used Xpra in the past to connect to a remote system for GUI stuff, but I almost exclusively use ssh because most of the time I don’t need to run a remote windowing system. Source: about 1 year ago

• I want to (securely) remotely access my Pop!_OS desktop from my Pop!_OS laptop - what’s the best way to do this in 2023?

  To add to this if you need to access graphical applications of an entire desktop environment you can use Xpra or MOONLIGHT (I suggest the second one if you want to game on the remote desktop or need very low latency in general), you can use both of these through a ssh tunnel (you need to enable this and X forwarding in the config) so if you setup and allow access to ssh correctly you can also use these without too...

• I have made one of my PC's a server, I do not want to use a monitor with it, just remote access as needed. How do I get permanent remote access upon booting?

  At work we have a few headless servers and use dummy plugs to trick AnyDesk into rendering the image without a monitor. Not business standard but it gets the job done. Source: 5 months ago

• AnyDesk

  AnyDesk is a remote desktop application for Windows, Mac, Linux and mobile systems, and you don’t need to create an account to work with it. The app claims to create a secure connection and has developed a proprietary codec that ensures uninterrupted data transfer. As an alternative to TeamViewer, Chrome Remote Desktop and Microsoft Remote Desktop software, anydesk provides the possibility of creating two-way... Source: 11 months ago

• Questions about setting a local, home office remote desktop

  AnyDesk works very well. It's a remote desktop software available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Free for home use. I personally used it on all three OSs (specific flavors of Linux were Mint and Pop!_OS, both Ubuntu derivatives, so it should work on Ubuntu itself). Source: 11 months ago

• too smart to get played

  I'd think so. There are services out there that do that kind of thing for you. Anydesk is one. Source: about 1 year ago

• Hyper V - Remote Desktop Connection via Public IP Address (outside network connection)

  Instead of RDP, you can use alternate remote access tools. You may be able to use AnyDesk; not sure if the free version can be installed on a server, but this would allow your partner to connect directly to the console instance. Source: about 1 year ago
