It really isn’t. You don’t even need to port forward, you can use AnyDesk or TeamViewer or any other option entirely for free.

I just wish Linux remote desktop support wasn’t absolute dogshit.

I’ve used them all. They all suck.

How so? They work fine on me between laptop and desktop, phone and desktop, etc.

They work well enough to get by, but definitely lack the responsiveness and modern feel of Windows rdp. Which makes sense, given the Linux solutions are essentially sending screen caps vs rdp’s protocols.
It feels like using a raspberry pi as your workstation. Technically it can do it, but it’s not a great experience.

There are plenty of options for both software and OS, so not every combination is going to have the same level of support as Windows, where every user gets the same experience.
That said, I’ve heard lots of good things about NoMachine.

I used NoMachine for the better part of a year, and I’d agree it’s the best of the options. It still sucks.

RustDesk, it’s by far the best remote desktop software I’ve used on any platform.
Tons of great features, open source, self-hostable, easy to install and configure, works on all major platforms including mobile. Cross platform works like a charm.

Thanks. I’ll give it a try.
