I believe that Linux Mint supports RDP, built in. You just enable it in the System Settings. Is that not workable?
In my experience, RDP locks the screen for anyone at the physical machine. It sounds like OP is wanting a simultaneous screen sharing.
That's odd. It does not lock the local user out on Ubuntu, and allows simultaneous use.
Sounds like a good option then!
I think that screen lock is really only the case in Windows. Most linux vnc and rdp servers either run their own completely separate X session or share the console session.
True enough for VNC but we’re specifically talking about RDP, which is supported by Linux Mint.
That's on me for typing vnc when I meant rdp, but nevertheless it's true for both.
I see. GP said the same. Thanks for sharing!
I hadn't tried it yet. I was just asking to get a census of what's popular before I dug in too deep.
Gotcha. As usual with Linux, there are lots of ways to crack the nut. I would be inclined to go with the built-in option, in this case. Less likely to break.
