<h3>Logging in</h3>
<p>
OK, so you've joined exozyme! Now what? Try out our remote desktop first! You'll need an RDP remote desktop client. Linux users can use the FreeRDP client in their distro's repository, while Windows has a built-in client called Remote Desktop Connection. Mac users can use the <a href="https://install.appcenter.ms/orgs/rdmacios-k2vy/apps/microsoft-remote-desktop-for-mac/distribution_groups/all-users-of-microsoft-remote-desktop-for-mac">Microsoft Remote Desktop Beta client</a>. If your OS wasn't listed, check <a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-clients">this list</a>.

Alright, now spin up the client and connect to the address <i>exozy.me:3388</i>. You should see a login screen, where you'll type in your username and password for your <b>core services</b> account. If it all works, it should drop you into a desktop! It might take a few seconds to load properly. Enjoy your remote desktop!

The first thing you should do is open up a terminal and change your password. The easiest way to do this is by searching for "terminal" in the application menu in the bottom left corner. Now change your password with the <i>passwd</i> command. If you want to run apps, note that the GPU currently isn't that good, so games may not work well. Also, please remember to log out when you are done.

So what can you do with Nextcloud? Well, judging by the sheer number of icons on the top bar, a lot! There's cloud storage, an email client, photo manager, music player, calendar, and an integrated Element Matrix client. Have fun!

You'll want to enter in <a href="https://chat.exozy.me">chat.exozy.me</a>, and then type in your exozyme username and password. Welcome to your shiny new Matrix account!
You can chat with your friends on <a href="https://matrix.org">Matrix</a> and <a href="/blog/dont-use-discord">Discord</a> using your <b>exochat</b> account.
