Lamco RDP Server
What Lamco RDP Server is
Lamco RDP Server shares an existing Linux desktop session with remote clients over RDP. It is built for Wayland using XDG Desktop Portals and does not require X11. Video support includes H.264 AVC420 and AVC444, adaptive 5–60 FPS and resolutions up to 4K UHD. Native packages list NVIDIA NVENC, Intel/AMD VA-API and Vulkan Video acceleration; the Flatpak uses software encoding. Clipboard synchronization supports text, HTML, RTF and images, while native installs allow file copying in both directions. Desktop audio streams to clients using OPUS, PCM or ADPCM. Connections use TLS 1.3 by default, with optional TLS 1.2 fallback; authentication supports PAM or none, and NLA is supported with PAM. The maker lists RDP clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. The free plan is available; Personal Monthly costs $4.99 a month and Personal Annual costs $49 a year. The Flatpak on wlroots desktops is video-only because sandboxing blocks keyboard and mouse input. Headless multi-user VDI is in development.
