Choose Your Installation Method

Lamco RDP Server v1.4.2 is available in multiple formats. Your choice depends on your use case and whether you need hardware acceleration.

📦 Community Edition (Flatpak/Snap) — Free

Works on ANY Linux distribution. Free to use. Sandboxed. Clipboard: Windows → Linux.

⚙️ Native Package (Performance)

Hardware acceleration (NVENC/VA-API), zero-dialog sessions. Best for servers and production.

Installation Methods

Flatpak (Community Edition)

COMMUNITY EDITION - FREE

Universal package for all Linux distributions. Automatic updates, sandboxed execution, and easy installation.

# Install from Flathub (coming soon)
flatpak install flathub io.lamco.rdp-server

# Run
flatpak run io.lamco.rdp-server
✅ Advantages:
  • • Works on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, Fedora, RHEL, Debian, openSUSE, Arch, etc.
  • • Sandboxed security
  • • Automatic updates via Flathub
💡 Trade-offs:
  • • Software encoding only (sandbox security restricts GPU access)
  • • Session persistence: Portal strategy (GNOME requires dialog every restart; KDE/wlroots support tokens)
  • • File clipboard may use staging area in some configurations

App ID: io.lamco.rdp-server
Best for: Desktop use, workstations, sandboxed environments, universal compatibility
Clipboard: Windows → Linux only (Portal API limitation)
License: Community Edition — free to use, no license purchase required

Native Packages

✅ HARDWARE ACCELERATION

Native system packages with full hardware acceleration support (NVIDIA NVENC, Intel/AMD VA-API). Available for Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora.

✅ Advantages:
  • • Hardware acceleration (NVENC/VA-API)
  • • Session persistence: Zero-dialog strategies (Mutter Direct on GNOME, wlr-direct on wlroots)
  • • Full systemd integration
  • • Direct filesystem access
💡 Available distributions:
  • • Debian 13+ / Ubuntu — .deb package
  • • Fedora 43+ — RPM Fusion (nonfree) or direct RPM
  • • openSUSE Tumbleweed — OBS repository
  • • Arch Linux — AUR

Also available: openSUSE (OBS)
