Hi,

Is there any remote desktop app that works on KDE neon 6.2 with Wayland ?

Thanks

My go to is Sunshine (server) and Moonlight (client). It's meant for gaming so latency is incredibly low. Never seen anything better.

I run xrdp on a terminal server for work

No Wayland support currently

hmm, doesn't KRdp run on that though? The only issue is that you usually have to kick off an initial login session for it to run in iirc

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, that's because KRPD is dependent on the KDE desktop. (I believe it depends on kwin specifically but K can't remember)

yeah I was able to get around that on one of our boxes as it was vmware. Are you able to autologin a user with no real privileges that has something like a five second inactivity lockscreen?

Honestly I would just use Xrdp if you are needing proper terminal services.

Alternatively there is KasmVNC. You either can run full Kasm or you could just use the webtop containers provided by Linuxserverio.

I have been using Rustdesk. Works with Wayland but only with one monitor, I can't switch to another. But other than that works great and they even have selfhosted option for relay server.

Don't use Rustdesk as it introduces a major risk into your environment.

[-] Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show 3 points 1 year ago

Please elaborate on this. What risks are introduces?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

The developers behind it are effectively faceless but they have a history of doing questionable things. I also don't like how they only place to get Rustdesk is from the developers. The entire project just gives off bad vibes. If it was something lower risk like a music player it wouldn't be a big deal but we are talking about software that connects to Chinese servers and has root/admin privileges

software that connects to Chinese servers

You can set up your own server, so it doesn't have too.

only place to get Rustdesk is from the developers.

Shouldn't it be like this though. Rustdesk is in the AUR, which downloads the source from Github, like a lot of other software packages does. You can also build it yourself.

The developers behind it are effectively faceless

https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk has contributors listed, so not exactly what I would call "faceless". Sure, there is not really any real names on it, but having real names on Open Source projects in github is not the norm.
