## What it is
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
