Hi folks
If you use typically HYPER-V to create VM's and you create a desktop Linux VM e.g any distro with a Windowed GUI desktop e.g GNOME,MINT,KDE etc then newer distros have now dropped support for the old X-Server based on XORG and X11 and switched to Wayland. This means that you can't RDP any more but have to use the HYPER-V connect application.
The problem is that RDP is proprietary source by Ms and has mainly 32 bit code in it and since Wayland is essentially 64 bit code it's not compatible with RDP - and not "fixable" by linux developers It's a 100% Ms problem.
If you need remote access to hyper-V linux VM's then you'll need something like a VNC viewer installed on the Windows side -- i.e if you have say a HYPER-VM running on Machine 1 and you want to connect to it remotely from Laptop 2 not using the HYPER-V connect application then that's where you'll need to install the viewer.
A semi-get around is to install the cockpit application on the Linux VM and then you get some sort of widowed access from a browser via https://servername<or IP address>:9200 but you won't be able to run windowed apps.
RDP in any case is a slowish protocol and not very secure anyway.
Developments I'm sure will evenually sort this out. Older distros still using X11/XORG such as debian / ubuntu work from windows to connect to a remote hyper-V via RDP. If you have a distro that allows a choice at login of X11/Wayland then if you use the X11 to RDP that will still work-- but X11 /XORGG is old, poor security (not encrypted) and not very good with moden high powered graphic / video cards.
