With many of the mentioned services, you’re connecting to an established windows login session and sharing that screen, correct? Is that what you want, only on Linux? If not, I’m curious why SSH isn’t enough for remote troubleshooting? Using SSH has a lot of advantages, and can be locked down and limited to certain subnets, and can be set up to use 2FA. Throw in something like Tailscale or some other VPN, and you can limit exposure of the SSH port to the internet. Then, if you absolutely must use a graphical remote access, you can forward it over ssh. -- Jonathan Billings -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
