Transcript : The Ubuntu 22.04 Result
-------------------------------------------------
In this video i will show you how you can get a cloud virtual server running ubuntu 22.04 with a desktop. The VPS has 4 CPUs and 8 gigabytes of memory and costs less than 10 dollars a month.
We will connect to it using remote desktop connection which comes preinstalled on all windows PC’s and means can be accessed from any pc in the world.
Which allows me to learn more about this latest version of Ubuntu , over 20.04, which is the previous long term support version.
And optionally, as a bonus at the end of the video, i will also show you how to connect to google drive, ensuring any work you do on the machine can be easily backed up to the cloud.

The best tutorial for setting up Ubuntu. Simple, clear, works. Excellent work! Thanks.

[smudgepost]

Thank you. One of the first examples that worked for me. I followed every step and even used Contabo! Only issue I had on my host (also Ubuntu) is I had to repeat the ufw allow rules or my rdp wouldn't connect.

[alpha-tsx]

I have no words. Thanks many, many times for what you did. Just perfect!

[tomgrow]

Great tutorial!
I installed it successfully & can log in using RDP
I have an issue with the speed accessing my remote server
it takes a lot of time to access any file or open browser in my remote server though my ISP connection is too fast
Thanks

[SteveVickAK]

Thanks for posting this. I would have prefered chrome instead of firefox, but maybe that is not possible. THis is like a foreign language, so thanks for the help. I am only half way through, so not even sure this will even work in the end. Thanks again.

[calmifyer]

THE BEST! Thank you for the excellent tutorial!! Question: I use a Mac, but I did not want to download and use microsoft RDP to connect to VPS because I thought it required port 3389 to remain open while it's in use. Does changing the ports as you did in this video solve this problem? Or will port 3389 (and 22??) still be open by using Microsoft RDP to connect my mac to the VPS? (apologies if this is a stupid question, I'm a tech noob)
