    From Mike Dippel@954:895/1 to All on Tuesday, September 17, 2024 16:10:36
    I decided to pull out one of my old Laptops to see what I could accomplish with a fairly
    old computer. After installing Google Chrome OS, I installed Chrome Remote Desktop to
    connect to my main Windows 11 desktop machine.

    What a joy to see that I have full access to all of my windows programs! The main one
    that I use is a program to design web sites. I have never found anything on Linux or
    Chrome OS that compares.

    My hope is that when I am travelling, I will still have access to my home computer
    remotely via this laptop. I assume that I will.

    I just ordered a refurbished windows 11 laptop from Amazon that I would use as my
    primary. Maybe I won't need it?

    I am using Remina on a linux box to access the desktops of other local computers that have RDP enabled. To my knowledge, if I had a windows
    system, I would be able to access it with Remina so long as it also had RDP enabled.

    My hope is that when I am travelling, I will still have access to my home computer
    remotely via this laptop. I assume that I will.

    Only if you have the ports that allow remote desktop access on the home computer in question exposed to the internet. I don't so I cannot access
    it from anywhere outside my home.
