Looking for a recommendation on a terminal emulator for clients running windows

[KSteve]

We are currently deploying DynamicConnect for access to AIX 5.3 and we are in the process of updating solutions.  We have about 70 Windows clients that will be uisng an emulator to access an app on the RHEL 8 Server.  Any guidance would be very appreciated.

This is a non-answer, it appears.  The "one issue" is RHEL8 running Wayland, not X11.  The "in general" response is to use MobaXTerm to forward X11 connections...".  So, there is no solution to the Wayland issue apparently?  In other words, MobaXTerm does not support Wayland, is that true?

@KSteve and @TF13 -

This is a more complicated question as the question is about a Terminal Emulator. Technically, with Windows the built-in terminal now allows SSH and other things to happen. However, Mobaterm is an excellent terminal emulator and application for Windows as it supports a "Unix-like" experience with SSH and gives you access to the filesystem. It also supports X11 forwarding as it has a built-in X11 server.

One of the things that happened with RHEL8 and beyond is XWindows has been essentially deprecated in favor of Wayland (which is a new compositor) and a way of displaying graphics differently so there is no X11 (by default). Some packages that have required X11 allow for the use of XWayland which will essentially provide some back-end functionality and enable X11 forwarding. Additionally, Red Hat as part of the transition has provided Cockpit as the Web Console and migrated many of the older graphical tools as Cockpit components.

It sounds like the interest here is connecting to an application (non-Red Hat). It is still possible to perform X11 forwarding, but in the case where the server has a complete graphical interface, it is also possible to use NX NoMachine to connect to the server. It would need to have the server package installed on the server and then the client package installed on all the clients. It could then connect and make a full graphical connection (think Remote Desktop) from the Windows machine to the Linux machine.
