From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It cannot be used to log in, potentially can’t even unlock but I haven’t used it in a while (Edit: confirmed it cannot connect if locked). A reboot preventing access until I go back to the local console is not fun.
I realize for their rustdesk example it’s not really different iirc, but there are solutions for x11.
GNOME 46 (currently in release candidate mode and fully releasing later this month on March 20) is adding support for remote graphical logins via rdp:

So you'll be able to do this pretty soon, after upgrading.
It'll be in Fedora 40, scheduled for release around April 16.

Ah, I see. I disable automatic lock on my desktop and have automatic login so it was not an issue for me.
This works in a private network you own. But my remote system is at work. I can not use it with full automatic login. Hell it's even encrypted and has a BIOS PW.
