Ubuntu is the best Linux environment, the simplest and the most secure, sadly in the clouds (Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud, etc) there's no GUI (Graphical User Interface) for Ubuntu, So we've decided to try to make a Ubuntu VM with a GUI and Configure it with RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) so you can use Ubuntu with Graphical User Interface. Plus Bonus software, including VSC and Azure CLI. Important notes: the recommended clients are remmina "for linux" and mRemoteNG "for windows" the default windows client is not recommended unless you set it with the smaillest display and the lowest color depth This image doesn’t need a GPU but you will need at least 2 cores and 8 GB ram, you will be asked to enter a password very frequently. If you got asked for a password you will notice that the user you’re being asked to enter the password for is not your user it is for a user called “ubuntu” - THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL - just create a user and name it “ubuntu” and give it a password. You must ssh to the server using the user you configured when you created the VM and give yourself a password using the command ($ sudo passwd “your username”). The TCP port 3389 IS NOT opened by default.
