@itsnameless dare I ask what you were thinking about me?

@MissDirection I agree with @kabhishek concerning a VNC server setup for a full desktop experience (and/or TeamViewer maybe? I'm almost sure it works just as well with Linux as with other OSes, but not *entirely* sure @chadd17), ssh as far as I know can't give the full desktop experience unfortunately (you can run graphical applications somehow, I'm almost sure, but still not extremely intuitive...)

@chilledfrogs x server forwarding via SSH will get you GUI programs installed in your Linux. XMing(something like that is required in windows to fetch the specific GUI of program, say Firefox? Gedit? Or anything, one at a time!) Not so good.
TeamViewer is only good for remote work as it will eat up the bandwidth and you need to have decent internet speed.
VNC works on LAN, flawlessly.
Cheers! -
@kabhishek I think what I saw was X server forwarding, in any case it was a rather laggy rendition of Cadence through SSH, so yeah 😅

@AlexDeLarge because my dad wants Windows on it. When I finally get my machine, that will be a different story. So in the meantime, I will use the desktop as my playground to fuck around with, break, and fix linux.

@chilledfrogs Teamviewer works fine with (and installable from the site) most linux distro's I thought, at least with debian based distro's :)

@MissDirection Are you going to work FROM a windows system?
-
@linuxxx yes. I want to remotely access the Linux box from the Windows laptop.

@MissDirection I'd say, install a VNC server on your linux box and install a general VNC viewer, that'd work I think :).

@missDirection if you want to play around with some Linux distro consider to have proxmox installed on the desktop. It's a virtualization server. You can run multiple OSs in a viral network and access them with the built in vnc server. I use it as a playground for pentesting on an old machine and it's pretty good to me.
Another dev on my team just got a new machine. Before he came in today I made two separate USB installers and ...
To all my linux peeps... and don't get on me about which OS and better and all that crap!
Anyway, until I decide on a new laptop, I am using my dad's old machine running Windows 10. I also have an old desktop with a first-gen core i3, 8gb ram, 500gb HDD. What I'd like to do is run linux on the desktop and remote into it from my laptop. Is there a good way to RDP in to linux from Windows and preserve the full experience (like RDP from Windows to Windows)?
