Xrdp is an open source implementation of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), which allows you to graphically control remote systems. Using RDP, you can log in to a remote computer and create a real desktop session, just like logging in to a local computer.

Some software in Linux can also greatly simplify the difficulty by using a graphical interface. At present, the adaptation of GUI has matured, and there are not so many problems.
At present, Xinruiyun has done visualization in centos and ubuntu. The visualization solution chosen by Xinruiyun is similar to the interface style of traditional windows.

Connect to Xrdp server
Now that the Xrdp server has been configured, it is time to open the local Xrdp client and connect to the remote CentOS 8 system.
Windows users can use the default RDP client. Type "Remote Desktop" in the Windows search bar, and then click "Remote Desktop Link". This will open the RDP client. In the Computer field, type the IP address of the remote server, and then click Connect.
On the login screen, enter your username and password, and click OK.
After logging in, you should see the default Gnome desktop. It should look like this:
Now you can use the keyboard and mouse to interact with the remote desktop from the local computer.
If you are using macOS, you can install the Microsoft Remote Desktop application from the Mac App Store. Linux users can use RDP clients, such as Remmina or Vinagre.
