I hate rdp (Microsoft remote desktop)

I just hate it – that's the rant

So you rant about your hate. Do you also hate your hate?

@electrineer no I think it's well reasoned

Just use chrome Remote Desktop, duh

SSH is all you need

@Nanos I'm talking about the "classic" remote desktop (mstsc.exe)
It swallows Ctrl+Alt+ArrowKey hotkeys and you cannot disable that. And I use hotkeys like this 24/7 in vscode....
The new RDP from the store apparently doesn't do that, but I can't use the Microsoft store on my company pc.

@SortOfTested I can't do anything on my host system, no admin rights and not even an IDE, notepad++ is as far as it gets.
So I'm RDPint into virtual machines where I have admin rights and actually develop my stuff.
SSH on windows is horrible with putty and I'm not quite ready to go full terminal yet.

@example-user I don't know that it existed and somehow I already feel like it's horrible

The recent vulnerabilities are quite bad for RDP.

@LotsOfCaffeine As Long as you use it for privat use, it’s super dandy and really easy.

You could use it in enterprise.. but.. not even I trust Google enough for that.

„just need a Google account“

@irene With the sheer amount of security vulnerabilties I always like to think RDP was a deliberately designed backdoor for the NSA

Either that or Microsoft let the interns have a crack at it

@12bitfloat fortunately one can tunnel RDP through SSH.

Yep. The old SSH condom.

@example-user you need an account? Wtf?

@LotsOfCaffeine At least you don’t Need to manage all your connection keys and shit. Plus you can use it anywhere from the web.

@example-user I'll take having to generate an rsa key once over needing a google account to access my computer

@Nanos just run mstsc.exe?

I have it available on my personal Win10 Pro machine

It's probably not a thing on the home edition
