NoMachine is what you're looking for. Full login remote desktop multiplatform solution like rdp/xrdp, but wayyy smoother.

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.

xrdp tends to work well enough, and plays nicely with both the windows remote desktop application and various Linux clients
If xrdp works well enough, NoMachine us blazing fast in comparison. Have you given it a try?
Once but it was a long time ago
I have been using xrdp on the "server" and remmina on the "clients". Both ends worked beautifully "out of the box" (i.e. apt install). Occasionally I might have had to open the firewall for xrdp?
I use xrdp and remmina as well. I don't open ports though, I just use my VPN to get into my home network first. much safer
I've been using Rust Desk for a few months now and it's awesome. Works on Linux, Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android.
It's open source and super easy to setup and configure. For limited use cases, you can just use their freely provided servers, but you can also host your own server if you want.
I've been really impressed with the connection speeds and features, it has everything I need including end-to-end encryption for all network traffic, so your remote connection is at far less risk of getting snooped.
I was looking into rust desk. It looked like the perfect solution for remotly helping my family members. The problem is I have them running silverblue. I don't think rust desk supports Wayland. There is a experimental way I was going to try, but I'm not sure how to install it since its not in Fedora repo or flatpak.
I haven't done this in years but I've always found open source solutions to this to be quite clunky and usually barely worked. What always just worked fine for me was Teamviewer. Yeah it's proprietary and has crappy licensing but it's mostly a smooth ride.
Do try the open source options first tho, it's quite possible they got way better in the last few years since I've done this.
RustDesk Has worked pretty well for me on the rare occasions I need it.
That looks great, and it gets bonus points for being written in Rust. Thanks for sharing this.
With ssh, but you will only have access to the shell
Wait till you learn about the -X option ;)
SSH or RustDesk
RustDesk
With the shit they pulled on 'fixing' wayland support i would not recommend using their code ever.

my dudes, I am dissapoint
https://cockpit-project.org/
but ok, yes, for actual remote desktop, VNC or RustDesk, despite RustDesk being some open-core implementation that holds the good stuff in the proprietary release. At least it was when I last checked it out.
I don't think OP is looking to remote into servers here, personally for servers ssh is great but for accessing my laptop from desktop/vice versa the terminal can be a bit awkward when there are applications with no cli behind them which is where a graphical remote desktop comes in handy
