Remmina with Gnome 43

General system Applications

A couple of months ago I ran into issues with the krdc app and got so frustrated I created a script template to handle my connections thus limiting my dependency to freerdp.

The template handles if session is wayland or x11

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Script template to open FreeRDP connection
