      Please. please stay away from Dashlane. Pretty looking UI, absolute garbage for support. Ask me how I know!

          @fateknollogee Good. I like 1Password and didn't feel like switching.

            Oh, and RDP I RDP from my MDP all the time now to Windows boxes. What is a good app for that on the Linux side?

            Reminna

            Excellent. And what about the times where I would want to remote into my Fedora Desktop? What RDP style app is best for that?

                I posted this tonight thinking I'd get a good number of replies tomorrow AM. I was wrong.

                You might still.

                  I even opted for the "premium support", what a complete waste of time & money!
                  I had always been on 1Password, I saw the pretty Dashlane UI & decided to switch, oops, they had a bug on Chrome that took them almost 2 months to fix.

                        Gnome 3 is nice. But I like Cinnamon so much more. Or DDE.

                          I use KeePassXC and KeeWeb.
                          There's a webapp version of keeweb that you can use to access your passwords that is stored on Google drive, OneDrive or Dropbox.

                                That it's a smooth, normal desktop with a solid paradigm. It doens't do slow, quirky menu things to be trending like Gnome 3. I find Gnome 3 to be better, but fundamentally problematic like Windows 8.

                                  I use Fedora 28 to ScreenConnect to other machines. Works great.

                                  Yes, but there are some SC to Linux issues:

                                  Minor to severe depending on the environment being used in.

                                  Also totally not the question.

                                    Bonus* I like a nice looking desktop. Clean, but good looking. I like the look of the Deepin desktop. Is there any desktop environment for Fedora that looks similar to Deepin?

                                    I use Cinnamon because in my initial testing of Fedora native desktop options, I liked it the best. I didn't really use any of them much prior to choosing. Mostly, I installed, poked around, wiped, installed next, repeat.

                                      I'm generally pretty happy with them. Extremely well integrated and well made. And they've been adding more of them.

                                        Also worth noting, no issues to Linux. Some minor issues to Fedora, and it is dependent on the desktop environment (and compositor.) We use Deepin now for our Jump boxes and found no issues whatsoever with that one. So Linux isn't an issue itself.

                                          Coming from Ubuntu w/ Unity, the layout and the workflow make more sense to me.

                                            How many and what size monitors are you going to use?

                                            I've found that screen estate and if you have multiple monitors or not, make a big difference to how well or not the user interface actually works.

                                            Something that works great on a tiny 13" laptop is likely a disaster on triple 27" monitors but might be passable on a larger 43" monitor.
