In my experience, RDP locks the screen for anyone at the physical machine. It sounds like OP is wanting a simultaneous screen sharing.
That's odd. It does not lock the local user out on Ubuntu, and allows simultaneous use.
Sounds like a good option then!
I think that screen lock is really only the case in Windows. Most linux vnc and rdp servers either run their own completely separate X session or share the console session.
True enough for VNC but we’re specifically talking about RDP, which is supported by Linux Mint.
That's on me for typing vnc when I meant rdp, but nevertheless it's true for both.
I see. GP said the same. Thanks for sharing!
