Wanted change

Hi LinuxServer team,

First, thank you for maintaining this container — it’s been very useful!

I would like to suggest a feature request: adding built-in RDP support to the OrcaSlicer Docker image.

Reason for change

Currently, the GUI is accessible only via the web interface (Selkies), which can be slow and resource-intensive, especially with large slicing models.

With RDP support inside the container, users on Linux hosts (e.g., CachyOS) could connect seamlessly using clients like XfReeRDP3.

This would allow near-native single-window performance, GPU acceleration, and a more responsive experience, similar to how WinApps provides seamless access to Windows apps.

Proposed code change

Include an optional lightweight desktop environment (Xfce or LXQt) inside the container.

Install and configure xrdp (or similar) to expose the GUI via RDP.

Allow configuration via environment variables (e.g., enable/disable RDP, set user/password).

This feature would make OrcaSlicer much more usable for Linux users who want remote, performant GUI access without relying on the web interface.

Thank you for considering!
