Remmina – remote desktop client, supports SSH, VNC, RDP, NX, SFTP, XDMCP.
You can install Remmina in Ubuntu/Debian using the command:
sudo apt-get install remmina
Install in CentOS:
yum install remmina
Run with the command:
remmina
After launching it is enough to specify the address of the node and enter the login/password.
On the test through the Remmina client, I successfully connected to the remote desktop of Windows 10.

xrdp – RDP server for Linux
It is installed in Ubuntu with the following command:
sudo apt-get install xrdp
To connect to an xrdp server from Windows, you can use the standard Remote Desktop client by typing mstsc.exe at the command prompt.
The configuration is located here /etc/xrdp/, logs are written here – /var/log/xrdp-sesman.log
You can restart xrdp like this:
sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp restart
You can also install the Xfce graphical shell:
sudo apt-get -y install xfce4
And specify it by default.
echo xfce4-session >~/.xsession
I recommend not using root user to work in a graphical environment, but create an individual user.
