[kwlug-disc] PewDiePie switched to Linux and encourages his viewers to do so too

[CrankyOldBugger]

On all of my builds I do set the remote login prefs to include RDP, and if
available the "legacy" VNC, but it's still not a completely reliable
system.  Particularly with Raspis.

And no, I do not care for the "Raspberry Pi Connect" ecosystem, although I
fear that I may be forced to use it some day.  I'd rather my VNC went from
server > client, not server > some unknown server in the cloud > client.

And since Debian went to Wayland, Remmina (the default connection manager)
has become completely useless for RDP or VNC.
