If anyone on Windows would like to see what performance is like, I updated my WSL installer scripts to use this version of XRDP.

Ubuntu XFCE: https://github.com/DesktopECHO/xWSL

KDE Neon: https://github.com/DesktopECHO/kWSL

Kali: https://github.com/DesktopECHO/Kali-xRDP

These scripts will build a complete RDP-accessible Linux desktop environment in WSL. A GPU isn't needed to see a significant performance gain over 'stock' XRDP.

I don't see anything with regards to inclusion of the Clear Codec (RDP8.1 + H.264) in Fedora builds.

If there is evidence indicating this is actually the case, please let me know.

That's client side. FreeRDP needs H.264 libraries to work with this branch of XRDP. Apparently, Ubuntu and variants do not include this in their FreeRDP builds, good to know it's in Debian though.

(MSTSC.EXE and the official macOS RDP client already have H.264 support built-in)

I believe your writeup is about enabling Glamor; it does not do anything to enable the H.264 "Clear Codec" branch of XRDP.

Apologies in advance if I'm wrong here, please correct me if I'm mistaken :)

> Thanks to Tanner at LTT for letting me review his findings - It appears the scope of this issue is much bigger than expected; many Android TV Boxes with the AllWinner H616, H618 and RockChip RK3328 feature the "Corejava" C2 Bootstrap.

Clearly you never saw the original title before it was changed by the mods, but believe whatever you like.

Wow sorry to hear that. If you can, check if the device is still available over ADB. If it is, try re-running the script.

Not sure what happened in your case, I flashed many ROMs and ran the script against them to see if anything bad would happen. No issues.

In any case it won't be a Hard Brick. Power off, hold [volume-up] insert power jack and tap the [power] button 10 times. (I think. I lost my remote ages ago and can't check.)

I'm with you on that. There are efforts underway to get plain-old Linux running, but it's some time away as this chip only went into mainline as of kernel 6.0

I'm not going to try and change your mind, just sayin' that seems like a really bad idea.
