TeamViewer. Free as long as it's for "personal" purposes (not commercial). Not open source though, either .rpm or .deb installer on the Linux side. Works like a charm though

Thats a full desktop forwarder. I am trying to find something that can pipe a programs windows.

Qubes is the safest way, but you can run them in a VM on any distro.

>>52441150
Thats some kind of docker... i dont see how it is relevant here.

Microsoft has Remote App Services or whatever, but licensing is super expensive. It doesn't really exist in Windows AFAIK. Unless there's an implementation of VNC that does what you want.

Look into 2X as well, they're another well known remote desktop/access software company.

In any case, be prepared to pay the $$$$$$$

Its a distro that uses a hypervisor and template VMs to isolate your programs. For example, you can have one VM for banking, one for suspect email attachments, "vault" VM that has no network access where you atore keys and passwords, a Whonix VM, and a Windows VM to run windows "apps." Just do everything locally, its much more secure.

Yeah, i wathcning someone play with it on youtube. This would be a lisence to get lisenced. Multiple OS vm's running for individual apps.

Its bretty good. Runs great on a i5-2520m with 6gb of ram and an ssd. Its probably the best solution for OP. It would allow him to run linux and windows at the same time. I can't seem to get the qubes tool package working with windows, so I just run it as a regular VM. I only use windows for Quickbooks, so its a small inconvenience.

I'm glad you're starting to see the light.

How's that working out for you?

>>52441019
Don't know any modern equivalents, but Citrix Metaframe did that kind of stuff long ago.

It's been a shorthand for "application" since the '80s, you hipster fucktards need to get over yourselves.

>>52441019
Using an RDP connection file you can set the alternate shell to be your application; the file syntax is like

alternate shell:s:c:\winnt\system32\notepad.exe

and you pass that as a command-line argument to mstsc.exe; this similar to chrissr's solution, but without affecting every RDP session you launch

RDP as of Windows 8 supports sending one program over RDP.
I forget the name of the feature and few linis programs supported it yet when I tried it.

There's old hacky ways too to send only 1 program over RDP.

It keeps the tax-man off my ass, so, good.

damn, I've been scared shitless by windows going all fucky with complete removal of privacy, and my inability to switch to linux as my daily driver entirely. Would this be viable to have games/photoshop run in windows and have firefox/porns running in linux, at the same time on the same desktop?

if so this is amazing

>>52442951
Yes. You can also deny the windows VM network access.

>>52443276
Qubes is cool, ran it for a month or so. Technically the main desktop you're using has no network access either, just the appvms

I'm really excited now, I guess nothing left but to get a large 3.0 stick and start testing hardware compatibility. If qubes doesn't pan out (I'm a total linux babby, and apparently getting nvidia to work requires troubleshooting) I guess I can always install vmware on some linux distro and vm windows with gpu passthrough.

Seriously though, fuck m$ for completely ruining windows for me, I didn't care about proprietaryism and other jewing but goddamn, privacy hit home real hard for me. Now I need to grow up from vb.net and learn how to code on linux... satya nutella why ;_;

1. Install xming or cygwin with xwindows.
2. SSH into remote host
3. Export display on your remote session to your client adress

Depending on your network setup you may have to tunnel the connection using SSH and xauth.

>>524429I turned off updates, but windows still checkes for updates, so I removed my wifi card :P
