Can it do X forwarding yet?
- mijoharas 4y agoIt's... not X... why would it do X forwarding? that's like criticising windows for not doing X forwarding (there's enough stuff to criticise windows about as it is, there's no need to add imaginary things to it).
- horsawlarway 4y agoNo - it's not X, it's doesn't share a screen in the way X does. That said... if this is a shoddy attempt at a "gotcha" style question - Screen sharing and remote desktop are both supported. Ex - for Gnome: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop LibVNCServer for VNC support, FreeRDP for remote desktop protocol. For KDE: https://userbase.kde.org/Krfb https://userbase.kde.org/Krfb Which mostly just works as long as you have Pipewire and xdg-desktop-portal-kde installed (the base plasma-wayland session usually includes them) This one is a bit less polished - some users still have problems with keyboard input, depending on the distro and other installed packages. For Sway: xdg-desktop-portal-wlr works just fine for screen sharing, and you can use https://github.com/any1/wayvnc https://github.com/any1/wayvnc for VNC access (including having a completely headless machine).
