Hmm, VNC would normally be the way to handle that on Linux? If you have a session going and fire up your VNC server of choice, you should be able to connect to it from another machine (I can't say I do that much personally, though I did set up a little fanless box as dashboard kiosk that way for my team a while back).
- n8cpdx 5y agoLast I checked, VNC wasn’t really comparable to RDP in terms of performance. I work in a remote session basically all day long and it’s suitable for graphics and video among everything else. Has that changed recently?
- blacksmith_tb 5y agoNo, it's not nearly as performant, that's for sure. I haven't used it personally, but there is Xrdp[1] which might be better for more serious usage. 1: https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-xrdp-on-ubuntu-20-04/ https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-install-xrdp-on-ubuntu-20-0...

- temp8964 5y agoMy experience is that VNC won’t remote to the same session. And it can’t adjust to client resolution, so not very useful to me.
