We use Windows for tax programs. Linux doesn't have these programs. So we need to run Windows once in a while.
Dual-booting works fine but it isn't the most convenient setup. Running Window in a VM would be great but I haven't figured out how to do that. Licencing is part of the issue. So: Remote Desktop (RDP) would seem to be a solution. The RDP server (i.e. the computer running Windows, backwards from X) has to be running Win 11 Pro. We have a computer that can do that. There are several Linux RDP clients. Remmina gets the best press. So that's what I chose. Remmina comes pre-installed on Fedora 39 (at least I don't remember installing it)/ My adventures so far are documented here: <https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/rdp-client-remmina-fails-to-connect-but-gnome-connections-does/103600/4> Summary: - Remmina didn't work - Gnome Connections did work (but people recommend against it as a client) - Remmina was installed as a flatpak - when I replaced it with normal packages, it worked $ flatpack remove org.remmina.Remmina $ sudo dnf install remmina If I were on Team Flatpak I'd debug why the flatpack version didn't work. My hunch is that it may be because I'm not using the systemd-resolver. More to learn.
