From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm trying setting up Linux Debian on my old pc and run it as dedicated server for some of games me and my buddies plays.

I ran into some trouble like using NoMachine and getting error 108, tried to google and all. Gave up, figure I'd come here and ask you guys. What's good app for remote access from Window to Linux that's simple to set up?

I'm Linux noob btw. So I'd need step by step guide.

Solved: use rustdesk

I tried that PuTTY but all it did was access Linux terminal for me. I want to see desktop. So I can move mouse around and type with keyboard. I'm not tech savvy enough for controlling everything via terminal.

In Putty go to Connections->X11->Enable X11 Forwarding and then put "localhost:0" as the xdisplay location. I haven't done it in a while but I think that's all you need.
