Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What's the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine.

I'm a bit of a linux novice, but trying to do more.

Anydesk for wayland machines.

nomachine works well in my experience; it's pretty straightforward to set up. And it offers nice performance. It's free (as in beer), but it is proprietary software -- they make their $$ selling enterprise features on their website.

AnyDesk, best performance I've experienced when it comes to screen sharing.

I haven't done this in years but I've always found open source solutions to this to be quite clunky and usually barely worked. What always just worked fine for me was Teamviewer. Yeah it's proprietary and has crappy licensing but it's mostly a smooth ride.

Do try the open source options first tho, it's quite possible they got way better in the last few years since I've done this.

If your machines run X then TeamViewer, Rustdesk or Anydesk should work.

On Wayland I don't think they will, but I'm not sure. I tried TeamViewer about a year ago and it wouldn't run under Wayland.

In general, remote desktop is a pain on Linux.

I use Chrome Remote Desktop daily. I don't know if it's the best, but it works great for me. https://remotedesktop.google.com/

With ssh, but you will only have access to the shell

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.
