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?

If you mean connecting TO your laptop, I would suggest an XRD + X11VNC setup. I tested it with Linux Min 19, and it worked well enough. That setup might work on other linux distros.

I rarely need to remote into my desktop, but when I do, I use ScreenConnect.

I often will remotely SSH into my desktop via ZeroTier IP.

So you just have a remote ScreenConnect Agent running all the time on your desktop, right?
What do you SSH into the desktop for?

Because my desktop is in a location that has a trusted IP address.

Basically from my house, I can get into damned near any client system. So when roaming, I SSH into the desktop then out to whatever I need to admin.

We do the same, but with secured Jump boxes. So even from my home desktop, I SSH into that for everything.

Installing like this:

dnf copr enable hubbitus/remmina-next
dnf upgrade --refresh 'remmina*' 'freerdp*'

I get this:

Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'hubbitus-remmina-next', disabling.

Nothing to do.
Complete!

@fuznutz04 I normally use the built in Remmina.

AdamF

@scottalanmiller I installed from the netinstall. Is this supposed to be included? I am not seeing it anywhere.

AdamF

No, I tried dnf install freerdp* and dnf install remmina*

Worked like a charm

So Remmina is awesome.

Don't do that, this is a really bad habit to get into. You will get things you don't want.

Use list.

sudo dnf list *remmina*

It will return like this. Obviously, with everything Available instead if Installed if not yet installed.

[jbusch@dt-jared ~]$ sudo dnf list *remmina*
