Setting up vnc is not as easy as it should be. I really wish it as just send auth, if auth create virtual display and perf devices as user that actually sends it to remote client, user sees desktop env loaded.
Using RDP clients like Remmina is great. The problem is running a RDP server in linux.
In order to connect you must already be logged in to the remote computer locally and have unlocked your keychain. If the remote computer lost power and rebooted you will not be able to get in unless you have set the computer to login automatically and have set the keychain password to be blank, which is not great for security.
You can not use a different screen resolution in the client than you have setup in the server. This means that using “RD Client” on my Android phone to connect to my desktop computer with a resolution of 1920x1080 doesn’t work. I need to use an alternate RDP client on my phone where a I can specify a custom resolution of 1920x1080. And then the user interface is tiny and does not fill my screen.
Give https://remmina.org/ a shot. Solid RDP connection. I have been using it for a few years and works well with my work laptop (windows). I hated the VNC route.
Remote desktop working like it does in windows.
I love linux and it is really all I use but RDP support is severly worse than windows.

I’ve had various VNC systems fail to interoperate. Like you have to use the same server and client.
rustdesk it truly awesome.

I use Remmina and it is great as a RDP client. But that is not my issue.
The issue is the way RDP is implemented at the server level.
Gotcha, sorry I miss understood what you were looking for.
