You can also still use your X11 programs remotely within Wayland, by using XWayland, which is supported by all the major implementations.
Unrelated to Wayland, there is also backend support in GTK3/4 for rendering to a web socket: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-broadway.html https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-broadway.html
- ricktdotorg 7y agofrom this page: > GNOME: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop "Currently only remote passwordless unencrypted VNC access to an existing session is supported." i guess that is technically a solution, but not a good one.
- cycloptic 7y agoYes, the quality of these varies, pick the one that is right for you. X11 forwarding is not without issues either. With VNC you'll probably also want to tunnel the connection over SSH to secure it rather than rely on server authentication anyway.
- s_gourichon 7y agoThis not universally good, but I would never open a port to a VNC server anyway, encrypted or not. Tunneling a passwordless unencrypted protocol through a SSH tunnel is fine, still.
