Choose Your Installation Method

Lamco RDP Server is available in multiple formats. Community Edition (Flatpak, Snap) and native packages (apt.lamco.ai, AUR, OBS, RPM Fusion) are all at 1.4.4. 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. Sandboxed execution, easy installation, and automatic updates when installed from Lamco's own repository.

# Recommended: one-click install from Lamco's own repository, updates automatically
flatpak install --from https://flatpak.lamco.ai/io.lamco.rdp-server.flatpakref

# Equivalent, in two steps (add the repository once, then install/update)
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists lamco https://flatpak.lamco.ai/lamco.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user lamco io.lamco.rdp-server

# Or: install the downloaded bundle once, no auto-updates
flatpak install --user lamco-rdp-server-1.4.4.flatpak

# Run
flatpak run io.lamco.rdp-server
✅ Advantages:
  • • Works on Ubuntu 22.04/24.04, Fedora, RHEL, Debian, openSUSE, Arch, etc.
  • • Sandboxed security
  • • Also listed on the Snap Store
💡 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
