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?

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.

+1 for rustdesk same here, also great for cross platform including mobile
Yep. It's nice to know you're in control of it. Not like bloody AnyDesk which decided one day out of the blue to remove the TCP Tunneling feature I was using.
How good is its Wayland support these days?
I self host rustdesk privately via tailscale and strongly recommend it. I don't always need a desktop but when I do, I'm glad I can use rustdesk.
I'll add a requirement. That supports remotes running Wayland.
Honestly don't use RDP to access Linux unless its built into the desktop. I personally use Rustdesk and Moonlight/sunshine
I use "aRDP free". I had to enable the advanced option "RDP Gfx", and set the resolution manually in the app to the resolution of my monitor, and everything works. Pc is wayland, gnome, arch.
Cheers thanks this works like a charm.
VNC
Nomachine (NX) might help: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_technology
Is it still alive? X2go is its FOSS alternative (fork).
Thanks!
Yep, this is what I use too. The display quality can drop if you've got a slow connection, but it works well.
The downsides are, I don't think it's FOSS, but it is free for home use, and if a machine has been off for long enough to drop off the connection list, you have to wait for NoMachine to detect it again. It needs a way to force it to check for systems instead of waiting.
It is indeed not FOSS. I should have asked OP how important that is - some people need a robust, ready-to-roll solution, preferably non-Microsoft, others a full FOSS license and figure stuff out on their own. Someone else mentioned X2Go, I have no experience with it but it is worth a look.
Will give both a look thanks
I use sunshine and moonlight. It's designed for games but works far better because of it, as in if it's good enough for games, the latency will be far better than other RDP protocols.
It doesn't do clipboard sharing though.
Moonlight isn't RDP
You dont want to use rdp
And you dont want to give keys to access your machines from a device as insecure as a handy
You should replace 'You...'' in your response with 'From an ideal security standpoint one...'.
OP obviously does want to RDP to their machine, they stated as such. For most people, accessing a desktop-class machine from a mobile device isn't a significant issue.
It's this kind of gatekeeping that keeps newcomers away from Linux.
SSH
Honestly yes
