      Oh, and RDP I RDP from my MDP all the time now to Windows boxes. What is a good app for that on the Linux side?

      Reminna

      Excellent. And what about the times where I would want to remote into my Fedora Desktop? What RDP style app is best for that?

      If you mean connecting TO your laptop, I would suggest an XRD + X11VNC setup. I tested it with Linux Min 19, and it worked well enough. That setup might work on other linux distros.

      Yep, that is what I mean. I'll take a look.

      I found this but never used it when I first switched and was worried about ScreenCOnnect. But then ScreenConnect worked, so I didn't care.
      https://xpra.org/

      I haven't had good luck with that one. I tried it again recently, too.

        I rarely need to remote into my desktop, but when I do, I use ScreenConnect.

        I often will remotely SSH into my desktop via ZeroTier IP.

        So you just have a remote ScreenConnect Agent running all the time on your desktop, right?
        What do you SSH into the desktop for?

        Because my desktop is in a location that has a trusted IP address.

        Basically from my house, I can get into damned near any client system. So when roaming, I SSH into the desktop then out to whatever I need to admin.

        That's exactly what I thought. And that is exactly what I would be doing as well.

          I still find it easier to use a Windows VM. Nothing wrong with that if it makes things more efficient. Most hardware is already licensed for it anyways, so there's rarely a cost associated with it.

          I'm down to about once a week on launching my Windows VM on my desktop.

          It was definitely always on when I first switched a year and a half ago.

          I do a lot of administration tasks specific to Windows, meaning Windows Server roles... AD/DNS, DHCP, DFS+R, Hyper-V, Windows client management, AD CS (PKI), the list goes on. I need my MMC console with all those RSAT tools (yes, I do realize that says tools twice).

          WAC works great on Linux.

          Its still needs need Windows. I have it installed on my Windows 10 VM that I access from my Fedora Host.

          I have WAC installed on a server VM on a DC licensed host. It's been great, but hasen't yet taken over everything I use the Win10 VM for. It's doubtful it ever will in such a Windows heavy environment.

          That's what we are doing, but we've found it to work quite well, we are liking it.

            We do the same, but with secured Jump boxes. So even from my home desktop, I SSH into that for everything.

              Installing like this:

              dnf copr enable hubbitus/remmina-next
dnf upgrade --refresh 'remmina*' 'freerdp*'

              I get this:

                  @scottalanmiller I installed from the netinstall. Is this supposed to be included? I am not seeing it anywhere.

                                Don't do that, this is a really bad habit to get into. You will get things you don't want.

                                Use list.

                                sudo dnf list *remmina*

                                It will return like this. Obviously, with everything Available instead if Installed if not yet installed.

                                [jbusch@dt-jared ~]$ sudo dnf list *remmina*
