the problem
when I trying to remotely contral a ubuntu from windows, I found it’s really agony to set up. I tried
| software | issue |
|---|---|
| teamviewer | dependency unmet |
| anydesk | dependency unmet |
| vnc | could not share clipboard |
| microsoft remote desktop (lots configuration) | could not share clipboard |
All these, somehow, made me frustrated. Now, how should I solve the problem?
solution
There is a website called alternativeto.net, where maintaining a list of alternatives of any softwares. I visit that website, search for “teamviewer”, I found a list of candidates. Then, I tried some. I found nomachine is the one easy to configuration and is able to share clipboard meeting my demand.
how Nomachine looks like
After installation, you get 2 things in you compter. The following is my ubuntu with xfce desktp environment (there’s something wrong with the color).
