RDP, short for Remote Desktop Protocol, is a protocol developed by Microsoft. My top recommendation for a remote desktop alternative is SolarWinds ® Dameware ®, offering an on-premises and a cloud version, both designed to facilitate the easy handling of remote desktop issues.

However, there are now several RDP alternatives on the market, designed to address potential functionality gaps. Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) provides a graphical interface through which users can connect to a remote computer via a network connection. Windows systems come with a built-in protocol for remote connections. If you’re providing support services for desktops and laptops, working with virtual servers or applications, or working in a company in which the offices are distributed nationally or internationally, you’ll be using remote desktop software. Just FYI: running Pop_OS 19.10 (an Ubuntu variant) that ships on the System76 laptop I use.There are numerous reasons behind the use of remote desktops, which play a crucial role in today’s IT software ecosystem. If this were a game or something, I'd understand: but the target audience is admins. I do find it odd that a software product aimed at server admins who often connect to Linux machines is, itself, not available in Linux.

It makes Royal TS kind of a pain to run, but life goes on. I have a licensed copy of Win10 I run in a VirtualBox container so I will install it there. They use it to access the various online servers on DigitalOcean, AWS, etc all of which run Ubuntu.įor me, it is not a big deal. I purchased a new copy of Royal TS 5.1 as one of my enterprise clients relies on it and I want to use the same software.

I'm not expecting a solution since Linux is specifically not supported. Running the `msiexec` against the installer seems to work, but once installed, running the `RoyalTS.exe` generates an error message. The 5.1 version does not seem to run under Wine (4.0.3). Just FYI for others trying the same thing.
