It depends on the side of the connection. Remote desktop sessions go to Windows computers. You start them from a browser on Windows, macOS, or Linux, or from the Remote Viewer app for Windows. Linux and macOS devices do not offer a remote desktop session. On them you use the browser terminal, web SSH, and file transfer instead. The agent installs on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11, Linux (Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, CentOS, Rocky, and Fedora on 64-bit x86), and macOS 11 or later on Apple silicon. Intel Macs are not supported. Remote sessions are designed for a desktop or laptop browser with a keyboard and mouse.
