Microsoft beendet am 27. Mai 2025 den Support seiner Remote Desktop-App für Windows. Wenn du ab dem 27. Mai eine Verbindung zu Windows 365-, Azure Virtual Desktop- oder Microsoft Dev Box herstellen willst, musst du auf die neue "Windows-App", die im MS-Store erhältlich ist, umsteigen.
Mein Tipp: Beende deinen "Support" von Microsoft und Windows, steige auf eine Linux-Distribution um und nutze Open-Source Software.

OK I tried. More than most normies would. But I failed.

Can anyone help me get a #VNC server running on my #Linux PC? I'm using #Fedora41 and need to be able to control it from a Windows 11 laptop.

Is there anything that installs via the Software app, and has a GUI? I really struggle with the terminal beyond super basic stuff...

I notice that #Gnome has #RDP settings built in. Should I use that instead?

[Remote Desktop -> Windows App. whaaa!?]

I agree the change is both startling and fraught, but wait. There's this. A huge number of users are using non-Windows machines to access Windows hosted virtually for work, even in the office. People no longer get a machine with corporate assets, just remote access. Think Mac, Linux, tablets with keyboards, even phones. User? Non-IT. Rarely if ever technical. IT knows, we don't want users f-ing with their machines. Asked, users will say, "I'm logging on to work," or simply... Wait for it... "Windows." Aaaarrrgghh!

It makes sick sense, but it'll either work for marketing or they change it, and there ain't anything we can do about it.

Deep breaths! Deep breaths.

Just read about this pretty awesome project, View IIc, a wireless Remote Desktop solution for the Apple //c. The hardware uses an ESP32 and plugs into the //c's RGB port, sending the 14MHz video bitstream to a Windows PC.

This is a work-in-progress by Mike Neil (who calls its current status alpha), and I'm excited to see how this evolves.

Very cool!!

Ever get the feeling that macOS (and the Apple ecosystem in general) is slowly slipping away into a bog or something?

Switched over to Sequoia several weeks ago and suddenly yesterday my Remote Desktop app keeps disconnecting after being up for a few minutes.

Check online and people are like "This is a known issue with Sequoia". Someone mentioned turning off teh built-in firewall fixes the issue. Somebody else comes in and says "Oh no, that's too drastic. Just add an exception for Remote Desktop".

Try that and the issue keeps on happening — as others mentioned in the same thread. Others mentioned that Remote Desktop is now Windows App and updating fixes it. For me, it doesn't.

Somebody else mentioned that allowing the app to browse the local network fixes the issue. And the latest update to Windows App suggests that they'd left out this option. But my local network setting is correct and updating to the latest Windows App didn't fix the issue either.

So, I've finally turned off the firewall on macOS. So far, no issues with Remote Desktop/Windows App since then.

And that's not all of it.

Try to build something on device using Xcode and Xcode wants to connect to your device and get info. But this connection doesn't always work. So it'll sit their churning its wheels but doesn't time out. So if you don't notice this is happening, you'll have no idea why nothing is building, or is taking way too long.

You have to disconnect and reconnect the cable to (possibly) fix it. And don't even get me started if you want to build on Apple Watch.

All I can say is that things are getting just too annoying at this point for me with various bits of the Apple eco system and I don't like it.
