Explanation

XRDP is an open-source RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) server daemon for Linux. Installing XRDP on the Linux server allows native Windows RDP clients (such as mstsc.exe) to connect to and manage the Linux system using the familiar terminal services interface - no additional client software needed on Windows. VNC uses a different protocol (RFB) and requires a separate VNC viewer. rdesktop is an RDP client for Linux connecting to Windows, not a server. SPICE is a remote display protocol primarily used with KVM/QEMU virtual machines.
