This guide will help you set up Chrome Remote Desktop on your Linux system. We'll cover different desktop environments and display managers. Choose the section relevant to your system configuration.

First, update your system's package list and upgrade existing packages. Then, install wget which we'll use to download files.

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y
sudo apt install wget -y

Download the Chrome Remote Desktop package and install it using apt.

sudo wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb
sudo apt install ./chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb -y

Select your desired desktop environment and follow the corresponding instructions:

If you are using GNOME with GDM3, use these commands:

1. Install GNOME:

   sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
   apt install --assume-yes gnome gnome-shell ubuntu-desktop dbus-x11

2. Enable GDM3 (if not already enabled):

   sudo systemctl enable gdm3.service

3. Configure Chrome Remote Desktop for GNOME:

   sudo bash -c 'echo "exec /usr/bin/gnome-session" > /etc/chrome-remote-desktop-session'
   

4. Disable the default display manager if its not GDM3:

   sudo systemctl disable lightdm.service # If you were using LightDM
   # or
   sudo systemctl disable sddm.service  # If you were using SDDM
   # ... (replace with your previous display manager if different)

5. Enable and Start Chrome Remote Desktop Service:

   sudo systemctl enable chrome-remote-desktop
   sudo systemctl start chrome-remote-desktop

If you are using XFCE with LightDM, use these commands:

1. Install XFCE:

   sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
   apt install --assume-yes xfce4 desktop-base dbus-x11 xscreensaver

2. Configure Chrome Remote Desktop for XFCE:

   sudo bash -c 'echo "exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xfce4-session" > /etc/chrome-remote-desktop-session'

3. Disable GDM3 (if it was previously enabled):

   sudo systemctl disable gdm3.service

4. Enable LightDM (if not already enabled):

   sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service

5. Enable and Start Chrome Remote Desktop Service:

   sudo systemctl enable chrome-remote-desktop
   sudo systemctl start chrome-remote-desktop

If you are using KDE Plasma with SDDM, use these commands:

1. Install KDE Plasma:

   sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
   apt install --assume-yes kde-plasma-desktop dbus-x11

2. Enable SDDM (if not already enabled):

   sudo systemctl enable sddm.service

3. Configure Chrome Remote Desktop for KDE: Create the file /etc/chrome-remote-desktop-session and add the following:

   exec /usr/bin/startplasma-x11
   

   To create the file using the terminal:

   echo "exec /usr/bin/startplasma-x11" | sudo tee /etc/chrome-remote-desktop-session

4. Disable the default display manager if it's not SDDM:

   sudo systemctl disable lightdm.service # If you were using LightDM
   # or
   sudo systemctl disable gdm3.service  # If you were using GDM3
   # ... (replace with your previous display manager if different)

5. Enable and Start Chrome Remote Desktop Service:

   sudo systemctl enable chrome-remote-desktop
   sudo systemctl start chrome-remote-desktop

If you are using a different desktop environment, you'll need to:

1. Install your desired desktop environment using apt.
2. Determine the correct command to start your desktop environment session. This is usually found in the desktop environment's documentation or configuration files.
3. Modify the /etc/chrome-remote-desktop-session file (as shown in the XFCE example) and replace /usr/bin/xfce4-session with the correct command for your desktop environment.
4. Disable and replace your previous display manager with the one that's compatible with your chosen desktop environment. This may involve enabling a new display manager and disabling the old one (as shown in previous options).
5. Enable and Start Chrome Remote Desktop Service:

   sudo systemctl enable chrome-remote-desktop
   sudo systemctl start chrome-remote-desktop
