In the spirit of trying new things, I'm running Fedora 44 Workstation (i.e. Gnome50) on my laptop... whilst I run the KDE spin on my desktop.

I've noticed that setting up remote login on both is really easy... and using the default RDP viewer in KDE I can simply connect to my laptop... great.

However, trying to connect from my laptop to my desktop isn't working. (Firewalls have been configured, thanks).

Using the "Connections" app just fails to connect but never stops trying. I downloaded RustConn and that gives me an error telling me that it's spawned an external viewer (it hasn't) as the RDP server isn't compatible.

I can, however, connect to my desktop just fine from a Windows VM with the "Windows App"

Anyone have helpful suggestions?

@Fishd usually to connect to my desktop from my laptop I use Parsec, never tried it on Linux but it must be as good as Windows and Mac

It seems that the app Remmina is the easiest solution.

I tried Connections, RustConn, Remote Viewer, Field Monitor... and none of them would connect. Remmina connected immediately.

@Fishd
Remmina was the one that worked for me, at least back when I still had to RDP to a remote Windows server, I got rid of these now (I was not responsible for deploying them)

@mcaputo Longer term, that might actually be a great idea. I was planning on adding Sunshine / Moonlight for game streaming anyway and I remember now they offer a desktop streaming function as well.

Have you compared Parsec with them?
