I'm using xrdp for a long time now and did not have many issues with it. The following may be a problem:
- If you are trying to login on the machine AND remotely at the same time, this might be hard to do
- If you are trying to do audio or printing over the wire (play sounds or print remotely), also a pain
- If you need it to look fancy or customize the look and feel of the login window, this also might be hard to do
What I like about it e.g. over GNOME's integrated RDP feature is, (yes, it is really integrated via Wayland) that you can go from power off to successful login without jumping through hoops and it just works. I did not try KRdp[4] for KDE Plasma yet.
There is also an installer script[1], that is able to solve some of the problems, but I would first try to install it manually, because the script does a lot of stuff that is not really needed any more. There is also a stack overflow post about this[2], but it my case, it was just enough to
apt install xrdp
done. If you are willing to try a "more modern" approach, you could try
RustDesk [3]
but I never felt the need to try. I also don't know if RustDesk can go from power off to remote login without having a logged in user in the first place. I'm going to try this in the near future.
