What do you guys use for Windows to Linux remote access?

[solardirus@slrpnk.net]

Sunshine (the server) and moonlight (the client)

In Putty go to Connections->X11->Enable X11 Forwarding and then put "localhost:0" as the xdisplay location. I haven't done it in a while but I think that's all you need.

Putty

I want to see desktop

Some kind of VNC setup

[dirk@lemmy.ml]

If you use it as Server it likely won't have a graphics server installed, so why not simply use SSH?

A common tool for using SSH on Windows is PuTTY.

For a Windows user RDP is familiar and fairly high performance experience. I'm a fan xRDP for Linux desktop users accessing graphical desktop in Linux. Its not hard to set up in Linux either which is nice.

Windows now has an SSH client built in.

[dirk@lemmy.ml]

Mmh, okay. Is it fully featured? If so, then this instead of PuTTY (just to reduce the amount of extra tools needed).

[xcjs@programming.dev]

It is! It's a port of OpenSSH. The server has been ported as well, but requires installation as a "Windows Feature".

[dirk@lemmy.ml]

That sounds great!

For gaming I just use Steam Remote Play and let it handle everything.

[mvirts@lemmy.world]

I just use ssh, it seems to be built in to powershell these days

[texasdrunk@lemmy.world]

With disabled hardware decoding.

[thedeadwalking4242@lemmy.world]

Second this, works just the same basically

[clmbmb@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

It's OpenSSH on Windows. Nothing to do with powershell. You can use it in cmd too.

[quazatron@lemmy.world]

A Linux VirtualBox instance.

Can't be bothered to work around WSL's idiosyncrasies.

[presi300@lemmy.world]

PuTTY or just SSH

[livelm@lemmy.zip]

So far the only reliable option for Plasma on Wayland...

[warmaster@lemmy.world]

VPN + RDP / SSH

[cy_narrator@discuss.tchncs.de]

If you have latest Windows 10 or 11, I believe ssh is now preinstalled so you can just use ssh from cmd or powershell.

If you want GUI as well, the easiest option is to use something like anydesk or something alike or just plain forwarding X over ssh with puTTY.
