    What do you need RDP for? I did everything i ever needed to do remotely via SSH (I mean this as a genuine question, not that we shouldn’t have better RDP support)

      I can do anything I “need” to via ssh. But I would really like the convenience.

      At work they monitor web traffic and block vpns, but they dont block ssh. So I use an ssh tunnel to rdp to my home system so I can easily look something up, navigate to the web interface of one of my self hosted apps, or get a torrent downloading at home.

      I dont know how to mount external drives on Bash without root privilegues. On the Desktop environment it can be done by just clicking without root password.
