VNC doesn't even share your screen, it creates its own offscreen screen and doesn't even load your desktop, and uses some unusable minimalist window manager with a stupid X cursor. Yeah I could probably figure out how to get it to work but it's a chore. Terrible product design.
I've been wanting to create something WebRTC based, I'm not happy with either VNC or RDP.
- Dwedit 2y agoOn Windows, you do share the screen. I haven't seen any VNC servers that give you a new session like Terminal Services would. On Linux, I've used both kinds of VNC server. One does start a new X instance, while the other one shares your main X instance. At the time I tried it, it was "TightVNCServer" to get a new X instance, and "X11vnc" to share the existing session.

Currently WebSockets but WebCodecs support looks to be around the corner[1]. > Terrible product design. Which "product" are you even talking about here? VNC is a protocol with several different implementations.
