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

[eldavi@lemmy.ml]

windows also has openssh now; so you don't have to use putty anymore, unless you really like it somehow.

[anytimesoon@feddit.uk]

SSH is the answer.

Another approach would be to use WSL (windows subsystem for linux) and basically just communicate from one Linus box to another

I think you might like rustdesk

I tried that PuTTY but all it did was access Linux terminal for me. I want to see desktop. So I can move mouse around and type with keyboard. I'm not tech savvy enough for controlling everything via terminal.

[jayb151@piefed.social]

Seconded. Rustdesk is what I use for all my remote access stuff, doesn't matter from what OS to what OS. The only problem I had was when I tried using it to remote into my Bazzite install, I had to OK it from the Bazzite machine, which defeated the purpose.

Sigh... Thank you! This finally work perfectly and so easy.

I can rest in peace now.

Sunshine (the server) and moonlight (the client)

[saigot@lemmy.ca]

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

Some kind of VNC setup

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.

[xcjs@programming.dev]

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.

Second this, works just the same basically
