How to view an Azure virtual machine with a GUI on local Ubuntu computer

You can use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to connect to the virtual machine. Here’s how to do it:

1. First, make sure that Remote Desktop is enabled on the Azure virtual machine. You can do this by going to the virtual machine’s Networking settings and making sure that the Inbound port rule for RDP is enabled.
2. Get the public IP address of the virtual machine.
3. Install the Remmina Remote Desktop Client on your Ubuntu computer by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install remmina remmina-plugin-rdp

1. Launch Remmina by searching for it in the Ubuntu applications menu.
2. In the Remmina window, click on the “+” button to create a new connection.
