Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What’s the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine.
I’m a bit of a linux novice, but trying to do more.

xrdp tends to work well enough, and plays nicely with both the windows remote desktop application and various Linux clients
I have been using xrdp on the “server” and remmina on the “clients”. Both ends worked beautifully “out of the box” (i.e. apt install). Occasionally I might have had to open the firewall for xrdp?
I use xrdp and remmina as well. I don’t open ports though, I just use my VPN to get into my home network first. much safer
It also doesn’t require a session to be logged in at the local console.
Yeah that’s true. I think some VNC options can start at the DM login screen but that’s a passion to setup and may not be overly secure
If xrdp works well enough, NoMachine us blazing fast in comparison. Have you given it a try?
Once but it was a long time ago
We tried both at work and it was night and day
I honestly thought this was the default/classic answer, and am surprised at how far down it was.
I too just started Linux 2 weeks ago, and my search results led me to xrdp on host, and remmina on client.
