Apache Guacamole: Open-Source Self-Hosted Remote Access Gateway To Access Various Computers With Just A Browser
To normally access say two Raspberry Pi’s, maybe a remote virtual private server, a media machine in the sitting room, etc you’d probably use SSH from a terminal, as well as say a VNC Viewer, and maybe more applications. And you’d have to do that from the admin machine you’ve set it all up on.
With Apache Guacamole gateway setup, you’d just use your browser to log in to Apache Guacamole, and from there click on which machine you’d like to access remotely, whether by SSH, VNC, or RDP. The effort is done once to set up the configurations, but after that you can access via the gateway from any location, or even grant others access. So, you are not tied to one admin machine that has all your remote access applications configured (big bonus if you are remote or travelling, as you just need a browser to access Apache Guacamole).

11 Best Tools to Access Remote Linux Desktop
Accessing a remote desktop computer is made possible by the remote desktop protocol (RDP), a proprietary protocol developed by Microsoft. It gives a user a graphical interface to connect to another/remote computer over a network connection. FreeRDP is a free implementation of the RDP.
RDP works in a client/server model, where the remote computer must have RDP server software installed and running, and a user employs RDP client software to connect to it, to manage the remote desktop computer.
In this article, they share a list of software (not all open source) for accessing a remote Linux desktop: the list starts off with VNC applications.
VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a server-client protocol that allows user accounts to remotely connect and control a distant system by using the resources provided by the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
