XRDP X11

This has been tested on Debian 13 First, make sure that you have a Desktop Environment installed, I have only tested this on XFCE4

sudo pacman -S xrdp

Reboot, the server/desktop and now you should be able to access the server/desktop remotely by using a RDP client, see [[Awesome - Linux Applications#Remote Tools]] for apps to use in your platform
