RDP is really quite impressive. I host Windows VMs on a Linux server. With quickemu[0] you can fire up a Windows Vm in minutes. It fetches the ISO, sets everything up - even breezes through setup, creates a user, does KMS for activation, etc. One command and a few minutes later you're looking at a Windows desktop. Setup Remote Desktop (with SSH forwarding or VPN of course) and you have a remarkably responsive (even at 4k single and dual display) GUI experience and powerful remote connection - file sharing, sound forwarding, clipboard sharing, even printers and arbitrary devices.

- pmarreck 4y agoyou misspelled “remote root protocol” ;)
- kkielhofner 4y agoHah totally get your sentiment but in my case it’s a port forward bound to loop back to a VM listening on a very well secured Linux machine only accessible with key based SSH. I’m not terribly worried about it.
- scarface74 4y agoWell in my case, it’s running on an EC2 instance with no ingress access. I access it by tunneling through Session Manager secured via IAM temporary credentials which itself is secured via a physical MFA device.
