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.

xrdp tends to work well enough, and plays nicely with both the windows remote desktop application and various Linux clients
I have been using xrdp on the "server" and remmina on the "clients". Both ends worked beautifully "out of the box" (i.e. apt install). Occasionally I might have had to open the firewall for xrdp?
I use xrdp and remmina as well. I don't open ports though, I just use my VPN to get into my home network first. much safer
I honestly thought this was the default/classic answer, and am surprised at how far down it was.
I too just started Linux 2 weeks ago, and my search results led me to xrdp on host, and remmina on client.
If xrdp works well enough, NoMachine us blazing fast in comparison. Have you given it a try?
Once but it was a long time ago
