Remmina is a GTK-based remote desktop client for Linux supporting RDP, VNC, SPICE, X2Go, SSH, and HTTP protocols through a plugin system. It offers connection profiles, tabs, multi-monitor support, SSH tunneling, and features like Remote Desktop Gateway, smartcard redirection, and clipboard sync.

Use cases

  • connect to windows servers via rdp from linux
  • remote desktop client for linux
  • access my work computer remotely over vnc
  • manage multiple ssh sessions with saved profiles
  • rdp client with remote desktop gateway support
  • use raspberry pi as a thin client for remote desktop
  • tunnel rdp connections over ssh

When to choose

  • you need a single GUI client for multiple remote protocols (RDP, VNC, SPICE, SSH, X2Go) on Linux
  • you want connection profiles, tabs, and SSH tunneling built in
  • you administer Windows servers from a Linux desktop
  • you need enterprise features like RD Gateway, CredSSP, smartcard and printer redirection

When to avoid

  • you need a remote desktop client on Windows or macOS natively
  • you only need command-line SSH and prefer a terminal client
  • you want a Qt-native application (the Qt port is still underway)
  • you need remote desktop server functionality rather than a client
