A raíz de las recientes insatisfacciones con las #GtkCsd, busqué la mejor alternativa para operar sesiones #vnc desde #Plasma, en mi #TiddlyBlog, explico por qué antes había renunciado a #KRDC en favor de #Remmina y cómo volví sobre mis pasos consiguiendo mejoras para lograr conexiones vnc sobre túnel #ssh con autenticación por llave pública (con mayor eficiencia de pasos y ventanas).

Lo malo es que no le podemos cambiar el nombre a KRDC :catThink:

#GNULinux #Windows

@irfan Ditto.

I'm still bummed by this

👍👌

Your OP shocked me, as i'd not known til then of this unpleasant news. I used #TeamViewer for many years, professionally & privately, & felt it a very useful tool. However several years ago i replaced it with #AnyDesk & hadn't looked back. I use it from my primary desktop pc #ArchLinux #KDEPlasma to remotely maintain my Dad's windoze 10 monstrosity, + occasionally for some tasks i wish to perform on my #Fedora #KDEPlasma laptop from my Arch pc.

In Arch ofc the pkg is available & easily installable. That was not so for my lappy. Initially i had to kinda sorta use a "wrong" version d/l from AD for a #RHEL system, & hope i would not break something. It worked, but always left me feeling vulnerable. One day i thought to check #Flathub & found it there, so changed to that method, which til now was fine.

Every now & then i aspire to replace it with some proper #FOSS pkg [yet not lose any functionality important to me]. A few times i have tried #KDE's #KRDC & #Krfb, but every time i fall at the first hurdle. I have no understanding at all of how to actually establish the connection between tower & lappy. The instructions seem written by someone, for a target audience, where both parties already smugly know how to use the software & decided to torment putative new users who know nothing about networking, by being deliberately opaque & cryptic. Maybe, hopefully, this software works fabulously in practice, but that's useless for me unless i can actually create connections. In that sense both TV & AD are light years ahead for non-network-specialist users.

@totallymonica G'day Monica, ta for info. AD has been great for me, all pooters, for some years since i swapped to it from #teamviewer; today's weird blip was v unusual, & i still atm can't grasp how/why it happened.

I have *wanted* to try RD also for 12 or 18 mths, but for reasons i've forgotten atm each time i tried, something stopped me, but if it's good for you then i wanna try it again, ta.

Also, wanna try KDE's #KRDC, but atm i'm too dimwitted to understand how to drive it. :eyeroll: 😀
