State of the art of remote desktop from almalinux 9?

Support
1

Hello,

From rhel 7 and almalinux 8, I used to use the integrated remote desktop to access remotely my logged in user, via vino-server I believe.

RHEL 9 broke that, they replaced vino-server with RDP which creates a new session and doesn’t allow me to see my logged in user’s session anymore.

What is the new way?

Context: I physically use my computer and run some apps, when I leave, I want to be able to access from my laptop remotely.

I’m a bit lost in vino-server, rdp, tigervnc, they all more or less do the same thing but not really.

Hello. alexisg

RHEL 9 includes the gnome-remote-desktop package, and official instructions are provided for enabling remote access via GNOME’s “Share” → “Screen Sharing” menu.

I apologize, but we haven’t been able to verify this on our end yet. If possible, could you please test this on an actual device?

Thank you

The ‘vino’ was described as:

Vino is a VNC server for GNOME. It allows remote users to connect to a running GNOME session using VNC.

Upstream GNOME Remote Desktop Making sure you're not a bot! claims:

It supports operating as a remote assistance remote desktop server, as a single user headless remote desktop server, and as a headless remote login remote desktop server.

It has two protocol backends, RDP and VNC. Not all modes of operation are supported with all protocol backends.

For RDP support, it uses FreeRDP, and for VNC support, it uses LibVNCServer.

VNC and RDP are two protocols for remote. The Vino, TigerVNC, and LibVNCServer implement the VNC protocol.

RHEL 10 goes one step further: it did drop X11 and hence VNC; Wayland sessions via RDP are the only remote option – even in the installer.

Personally, I don’t use remote GUI desktop sessions – if ssh cannot pipe something, then it aint for me.
