Based on your request, here is a bash script that automates the process of installing and configuring xRDP on Manjaro Linux with the Cinnamon desktop environment. This script assumes that you have sudo privileges and that the AUR (Arch User Repository) is already enabled on your system.

#!/bin/bash

# Function to install and configure xRDP
configure_xrdp() {
    # Update system
    echo "Updating system..."
    sudo pacman -Syu

    # Install xrdp and xorgxrdp-git from AUR
    echo "Installing xrdp and xorgxrdp-git..."
    yay -S xrdp xorgxrdp-git

    # Enable xrdp and xrdp-sesman services
    echo "Enabling xrdp services..."
    sudo systemctl enable xrdp.service
    sudo systemctl enable xrdp-sesman.service

    # Allow any user to start an X session
    echo "Configuring Xwrapper..."
    echo "allowed_users=anybody" | sudo tee -a /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config

    # Configure .xinitrc file for Cinnamon desktop
    echo "Configuring .xinitrc..."
    sed -i 's/#exec $(get_session "$1")/exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax cinnamon-session-cinnamon2d/g' ~/.xinitrc

    # Reboot system
    echo "Rebooting system..."
    sudo reboot
}

# Call the function
configure_xrdp

To use this script, save it to a file, for example configure_xrdp.sh, then make it executable with the command chmod +x configure_xrdp.sh. Finally, run the script with ./configure_xrdp.sh.

Please note that this script will reboot your system at the end to ensure that all changes take effect. Make sure to save any open work before running this script[1][3][7].
