Even KDE works fine in the remote desktop environment because it does not solely rely on 3D graphics. You could also go with the other desktop environments like XFCE or LXDE if you prefer. GNOME 3 / Cinnamon / Unity won’t work with XRDP because they rely on 3D graphics which is not possible (yet) on X11RDP or Xvnc (correct me if I’m wrong). MATE is basically a fork of the original GNOME 2 project. If you are going with Linux Mint, I’d highly recommend the MATE desktop.

It’s the perfect distribution if you want to customize your OS to the core. I have nothing against Gentoo, and I still love it. It is quite easy to do so, and the best part is that it is compatible with the remote desktop client on Windows too, thanks to the software called XRDP which talks Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).Īre you surprised that a blog that usually used to talk about Gentoo, is now posting about Ubuntu? Well, I made switch on my personal machine to Linux Mint Cinnamon because I was bored with Gentoo. If you’d like to access your Linux desktop over the network from anywhere in the world, or just want to share your computer’s resources on the LAN by giving all users accounts on your computer, you can set up a remote desktop server.
