Whenever I try to remote into my Linux machines I get an image that looks like attached the. Remotings into Windows works fine. Do u have to use another application? What do y’all recommend?

Not the OP, but I’ll add my 2c
I’ve got various components on my server that do have CLI counterparts, but functionality is limited or annoying at best.
For example, managing stuff under KVM can be done with “virsh”, editing a bunch of XML, and configuring SSH from the master to every underlying system… Or I could just RDP/X11-forward from my other device and do it in a couple clicks.
That said, SSH (or a VPN) is still partly the answer as I don’t like exposing RDP/VNC services to the internet, but XRDP or x11vnc etc with port forwarding through SSH work nicely.
If one is connecting from Android then ConnectBot supports port forwarding and can also be used with an X server application (i.e X11 XSDL) if you wanted to just go with just SSH+X-Forwarding
You can use virtual manager to do remote access over ssh.
Yeah I’m using it with X-Forwarding currently for that but I have found that RDP/VNC are a bit more responsive for some stuff.
That and there’s one Debian host I’ve got which periodically crashes back to lightdm when accessed via virt-manager, but works fine via xRDP.
That’s not what I meant. The virtual manager application on your device can connect to a remote instance of libvirtd over ssh. The effect is you get a local desktop app that can manage remote virtualization.
So virt-manager binary run locally but connecting to the remote host. I’ve done that before on Linux but haven’t seen a binary/client available for other OS’s
Oh, I just assumed you were on Linux
Linux Desktop, Android Phone, sometimes Windows if I’m hitting something from work etc
