Remote In Linux Desktop
Remote In Linux Desktop
I have this impressive old setup that I just installed Ubuntu on to test Linux. I’m looking to remotely connect to the desktop from anywhere—any PC, any network. I’m unsure if a web app works or if the machine needs a desktop app to reach the host. I’ve found many guides for remote access on the same network, but I want it to work across different systems like ChromeOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Do you have anyone with experience in setting up remote access to Linux desktops who can help?
There are several options available, including x2go, which is a preferred choice over other methods like VNC via SSH. You can also use Chrome Remote Desktop or TeamViewer. Each has its own advantages and challenges, and they vary in complexity depending on your technical skills. It’s likely one of these will suit your needs.
It seems Chrome should be active in the background for smoother performance, yet the delay feels almost nonexistent. Watching a video on a laptop with audio streaming from that device works perfectly, and it matches the playback on a pixelbook as well.
Hmmm, seems to be a connection issue to the linux remote access. Windows connection works fine but can't actually get the linux connection to respond!
You might try SSH. Set up an SSH server on your local device, turn on the firewall rules (like UFW) to allow incoming connections, forward ports through your router, and assign a fixed private IP to your host machine in the router settings. That should work.
