Linux Support

Hello All,

I realise that there is no support for Linux, but do the development team plan on creating a, at the very least, a JumpDesktop Connect client for Linux.

I love the app and its handy to be able to remote to Windows and Mac from IOS (or between Mac and Windows), but adding Linux would expand both the capabilities and audience (no?)!

Any tips from anyone, or any news on future developments? To be clear I'd like to be able to use, from Linux JumpDesktop Connect to connect to Mac and Windows...

    Hi, Thank you for reaching out to us.

    At the moment, Jump's automatic configuration via Jump Desktop Connect is currently not supported on Linux (you need a PC or Mac to use automatic configuration). 

    You'll need to manually configure Jump with your Linux computer's host address. You can enter the computer's IP address by tapping the plus button ("+") on the top right-hand corner of Jump's main screen. Also, be sure to tap the "VNC" button when creating the connection for your Linux computer.

    Alternatively, if you want to connect from a Linux Machine, the workaround is you can try and use the Windows version with WINE (Windows emulator) to connect FROM a Linux machine to another machine.

    Thank you.

    Hi, it’s been a very long time and Linux still isn’t supported:/
    Using rdp/vnc is very laggy. The reason most people bought jump desktop is for the smooth experience.

    Microsoft Remote Desktop App works from MacOs to Debian Linux.

    JumpDesktop can connect to Linux via either RDP or VNC:

    • RDP: xrdp + xfce4 (more light weight than gnome)
    • VNC: vnc server (laggy)

    For people needs to connect from internet, install Tailscale on both machines. Yes, I would prefer Jump Desktop Connect if available.

    +1 for this. Fedora user here.

    Love the app but can't connect to gnome-remote-desktop + freerdp.

    Would like to stay with Gnome + Wayland + Gnome remote desktop.

    Other clients have worked, but unfortunately not jump desktop for rdp.

    Here's the logs I took when trying to connect from jump desktop!

    I will echo what Gino said as I get the same sequence of errors from journalctl when using Jump on macOS or on ipadOS to connect to a Linux machine running Remote Desktop. In particular, I am connecting to a system running CachyOS/Arch with KDE plasma using krdp as the RDP server. It is clearly an authentication issue with NTML. I have also encountered this problem when trying to connect to a Raspberry PI. I think this has something to do with Wayland as I did not have this issue previously when using desktop environments based on X11.

    Just vibecode it at this point.
    Open the Jump Desktop repo in Warp.dev and put in a Claude Opus 4.7 API key and say "convert this repo to work on Linux", sync it with a Linux machine, and instal Warp there too and have it fix any errors. Voila hahahaha a good start anyways!
