Hi everyone! I just installed Ubuntu 24.04 for the first time after many years of using computers, and I've got a ton of questions. Right now, I'm curious about the difference between Remote Desktop and Remote Login. From what I've gathered, Remote Desktop allows access regardless of whether a user is logged in, effectively taking over the current session. In contrast, Remote Login seems to start a new session and can even end a current user's session. Is my understanding correct or am I missing something here? I need this clarification because I'm running a Jupyter server with LAN access set up; when I do a remote login and log out, it shuts down my terminal session and the Jupyter server stops working. I'm sure there's a better way to manage this, but I'm still figuring things out!

That’s spot on! Just a heads up, Remote Login through RDP was introduced in version 24.04, but the sessions aren’t persistent yet, which means you'll start fresh each time you connect. The good news is that in version 24.10, they made sessions persistent so you can pick up right where you left off if you disconnect.
