Remote Desktop Access
Windows
Windows has a built in RDP client. Open your start menu and search for “Remote Desktop Connection”. You may pin that app to your start menu or taskbar to make returning to tilix easier.
In the text box that follows Computer:, type in tilix.art. You can press Connect right away, but there are some options you can change under the Show Options button on the bottom left of the window. If the client is connected in full-screen mode, move your cursor to the center-top of the display to access the window controls.
Automatic Credentials
By default, the client will connect to the XRDP login screen where you enter your user and password. You can automate this by filling in the User name: field under the General tab under Show Options. You may also check Allow me to save credentials so you don't have to enter your password later. Next time you connect after filling in the User name: field, you will be prompted for your user password. If you checked Allow me to save credentials, this password prompt will not appear next time you log in. The program should save tilix.art as the default host, but if it is blank, you will have to type in tilix.art again.
Display Resolution
The Display tab under Show Options has a slider to set your screen resolution. If the resolution you choose is the same as your monitor, the client will default to full-screen mode.
Linux
Remmina is a capable RDP client for Linux desktops. Search in your distribution's package manager to see if there is an available package for you to install. If not, you may have to install it manually. Due to the numerous number of distributions, detailed instructions on how to do this are not available here at this time.
