## What it is
xrdp is an open-source RDP server that provides graphical login to remote Linux machines using the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol. It accepts connections from a variety of RDP clients and supports clipboard, audio, and drive redirection, with TLS-encrypted transport.

## Use cases
- access a Linux desktop remotely from Windows using mstsc
- provide graphical remote login to a headless Linux server
- proxy RDP or VNC connections through a single gateway
- share clipboard and files between local and remote machines
- reconnect to an existing remote desktop session
- resize remote desktop sessions on the fly

## When to choose
- you need to remotely access a Linux machine's desktop via RDP
- you want compatibility with standard RDP clients like MSTSC or FreeRDP
- you need clipboard, audio, or drive redirection between client and remote host
- you want an open-source alternative to commercial remote desktop servers

## When to avoid
- you need remote desktop on Windows or macOS as the server
- you only need terminal/SSH access without a graphical desktop
- you require features beyond RDP such as proprietary remote management tools
