Establishing Remote Desktop Connection from Fedora 38 to Windows 11 Home Edition: Seeking Alternative Solutions

LEON71 · 07-29-2023, 10:02 AM

I wish to establish a remote desktop connection between a computer running Fedora 38 and another computer running Windows 11 Home edition. However, I have discovered that the Windows 11 Home edition does not natively support the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which is commonly used for such connections.

Is there any alternative solutions ? Any suggestions will be welcomed

I have little knowledge of Windows, if you need more help, post to a windows forum.

Thanks for the link. I tried to download the installer but the browser( both google chrome and firefox ) prevented me to do so. Its throwing an error message : "this file might have malicious code which can harm your computer".

I will keep researching and if I find anything useful I will post it in here.

Thanks

The only reason Windows gave you that is because it's an executable. Either download that program and run it, or buy Windows 11 Pro which has the feature enabled. This isn't a Linux issue, but a Windows issue.
