Thought I’d create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people’s pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.
Unattended remote access under Wayland. I have multiple computers some headless and some with displays and I often like to remote into those from my other machines on my lan. With Xorg I used VNC. But with Wayland I have yet to find a reliable way to remote control a Wayland session without also sitting in front of the machine I’m trying to remote into.
I got this working for the time being by using rustdesk (even though rustdesk isn’t supported fully on Wayland but already works for me)
Since I already had tailscale,I can even connect to devices on different networks.
Setup one time password on rustdesk and it works eveytime.
I second this! RustDesk can have some issues at times (scrolling from Linux to another OS can be… finicky at times…) but it really works well enough to not have to worry about it too much.
On openSUSE Tumbleweed (and I assume any other KDE distro), you can install KRDP. I had it working, but the fact that Linux doesn’t let me easily change resolution through a GUI, I gave up on it and continued using RustDesk where I can at least get it to zoom in on the cursor!
