How best to connect a Windows 10 laptop to a RHEL 8 virtual machine?

I use a Windows 10 PC to log into and work on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 system every day. I have been using xpra to talk to it. Xpra dies every few minutes for a few seconds. Very irritating.

I’m told that RHEL8 doesn’t support xrdp. Yes, I need X-Windows support. I need to run a browser on the Linus system and interact with it from my Windows system.

Surely, somebody has already solved this problem. What is a reliable solution to talk between Red Hat and a Windows system? Thanks, Rick

Answer

I use Xming (https://xming.en.softonic.com/), but there are any number of X-Windows applications for Windows. VNC is another mechanism to get a similar type of interaction.

X passes a lot of traffic, so if you keep having connection issues, try using a wired ethernet connection rather than wifi.
