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.
Now let's build a bridge from libwayland to RDP, and be done, more or less. Well, with vnc, I'm able to control another KDE much in the same way as being sitting in front of it (including login), as long as: - forcing the compositor to use XRender - controlling sddm blindly or use kdm, xdm, gdm, hrmpf (due to sddm's missing XDMCP protocol support) But this solution is still superior to most other remote desktop solutions, since it also allows *collaboration*. I've given full training courses this way and do support my users on a daily base, but yes, my users have to trust me. (They do). RDP lacks this collaboration feature with native windows desktops (AFAIK), but is much more capable/efficient protocol wise. Anybody using RDP as a remote X desktop solution, and would like to share his setup?
