Do we have a decent remote desktop option for Wayland available?
There are implementations for at least GNOME and KDE; how decent they are I cannot say. So none for Wayland.
Niether GNOME nor KDE is Wayland.
I believe that due to wayland's "more secure" design, any remote desktop setup needs to be integrated into the compositor (KDE/Gnome). Wayland apps can't see other application windows or send or read other applications key / mouse events. This means that things like remote desktop / synergy etc need to be intergrated into the compositor so the compositor handles sending events and rendering application windows. (Unless the protocol has been extended since I last looked in which case not all desktops may support it anyway).
It could be provided in libwayland rather than reimplemented from scratch in each and every desktop creating dozens different remote desktop implemenations, each with different usability and security issues, and none of them applicable to my destop of choice.
That would still likely require some level of integration in the compositor and desktop and whether or not thats easier then having just a say librdp that all compositors can choose to use I don't know but oneday when I have spare time i'll probably try and answer that question for barrier / synergy. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
