Zoho Assist is a free, fast, cross-platform remote support software that allows you to access and support Linux desktops or servers without remote connection protocols like RDP, VNC, or SSH. VNC ( Virtual Network Computing) is a server-client protocol that allows user accounts to remotely connect and control a distant system by using the resources provided by the Graphical User Interface ( GUI).

In this article, we will share a list of software for accessing a remote Linux desktop: the list starts off with VNC applications.

RDP works in a client/server model, where the remote computer must have RDP server software installed and running, and a user employs RDP client software to connect to it, to manage the remote desktop computer. FreeRDP is a free implementation of the RDP. It gives a user a graphical interface to connect to another/remote computer over a network connection. Accessing a remote desktop computer is made possible by the remote desktop protocol ( RDP), a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft.
