Introduction to the guide

The Remmina PPA is looking for a maintainer, and it's not activelly updated.

Throughout the guide, we follow the following rules:

TODO: Add a note on distros vs package managers (possible add a list of distros to the package managers) that when changing distros, the package managers are changed too, but when changing the package manager, the distro is left untouched.

You can help by keeping this document updated and adding info about other distributions. You can simply edit the document, but you are required to sign up and log in.

Guide configuration

Below you can configure the guide for the specified distribution and/or package manager. You can also specify a Remmina version, as the guide may differ from version to version. By default, the guide contains a general guide for all tested operating systems for the latest stable Remmina version, while the differences are output using tabs.
