How To Set Up Remote Desktop Access On Your Linux Computers

Want to access your Linux PCs remotely? You can set up RDP the hard way, or you can make those connections the easy way. I'll step you through the easy option.
I have several Linux machines on my network, and I often need to access the desktop of one of those remote machines. Instead of trudging through the house, I can use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to gain access to one of those remote desktops.
However, setting up something like Xrdp (one of the Linux implementations of RDP) can be challenging, especially when communicating between different X servers (such as X.org to Wayland). Because of this, I turn to an application that vastly simplifies the setup and connection of remote machines.
