What Remote Desktop tool works for you in Wayland? Found none Working well on Wayland (Maybe I did something wrong when I tried VNC and RDP)

[-] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This has been my first struggle with Wayland. Used to be able to enable remote desktop with a single check box in most distros, then VNC into it from a Windows PC no problem. It's a real hassle now and glitchy at best once it's up and going. I gave up and have been using Anydesk to remote access a machine, and even that wasn't simple to get going.

Honest answer? Steam RemotePlay

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

But this is only for games, isn’t it?

In the Steam Link app, you have the option to select "Start Streaming" without picking a specific game. This will stream the screen as it is without binding to a specific window.

The main caveats here are as follows:

  • Requires a working pipewire & desktop portal configuration
  • Depending on desktop portal & settings, you may need to manually click through the screensharing request modal on your desktop at the start of each connection
  • The Steam client must be installed and running on your Linux machine in order to receive connections

The only time I RDP is to my Windows machine for gaming and I've had great success with Remmina

Oh, yea, was thinking the other way around: I want my GNOME session streamed to an iPad, that I can use on the couch. (OpenSuse tumbleweed)

[-] aniki@lemm.ee -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, can't help you there. I use Firefox tab sync to send browser sessions to other machines so I don't feel the need to RDP into anything to keep a train of thought going.

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I see, of course for browsing the web, I would still use a local browser on the iPad. I would use the remotes session for learning different linux/coding things, where SSH is not enough, while I’m not gone in the bureau for several hours but sharing the evening with the family.

Remmina or krdc work fine for me. Also parsec (no hosting there though). Oh if hosting, I'm not sure, but moonlight/sunshine work fine for me, even if it's not the usual desktop sharing app.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
