I am surprised no one has mentioned the new Gnome sharing Extend feature[1]. It also uses RDP, but you enable it and it "just works," including input events from the remote device onto the virtual screen. I've used Synergy/Barrier/Waynergy for years, but this is a good way to add a screen anywhere that supports RDP (Android, ChromeOS, etc). My main reason to explore it is to extend to a nice high resolution OLED tablet. Latency is quite low, as long as you don't try to watch a high resolution video.

- acomjean 4y agoThis sounds great! Will give this a try. I feel like all the parts of linux are there for an amazing desktop(its already great), its just sometimes the discoverability/documentation/usability need a little push.
- jeppesen-io 4y agoI was very excited to read this but was it removed in Gnome 43.x? > gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.remote-desktop.rdp screen-share-mode extend > No such schema “org.gnome.desktop.remote-desktop.rdp”
- davidy123 4y agoI think it might have been renamed, that seems like a feature flag.
- empyrrhicist 4y agoI've had trouble accessing Ubuntu over Gnome RDP sharing, except from a Windows machine. I can access Windows machines via RDP using e.g. Remmina, but accessing an Ubuntu host only seems to work for me from Windows regardless of the client I use.
- davidy123 4y agoHmm I've tried it from an Ubuntu and Android (Samsung) client, both seemed to work fine. Maybe a network thing?
- empyrrhicist 4y agoWhat configuration did you use in the client?
- davidy123 4y agoNothing special. I read the Microsoft RDP client is the best one for Android, so just used its defaults.
- empyrrhicist 4y agoWhat about from Ubuntu?
- davidy123 4y agoJust the defaults on 22.04/22.10. Have to use Wayland, though, which is still a bit of a mixed experience. The linked Reddit thread has more details.
- empyrrhicist 4y agoLike, what client running on Ubuntu though? Remmina? I don't mean the RDP server setup, which is pretty self explanatory in settings. I weirdly can't make Ubuntu --> Ubuntu work, but with either host or client as a Windows machine I have no problem.
