I help (or administrate) a couple of elderly relatives with their Linux desktops. The systems use Fedora Kinoite (an older version which still runs X), a immutable distribution which updates itself without any necessary user action (flatpack and rpm-ostree). This setup is simply perfect.
From time to time I log into those machines to check if everything is ok (updates ran through, backups were made and so on) or at times where the relative needs help with something. I use anydesk or rustdesk, both work pretty great with X but don't with wayland. rustdesk has an experimental wayland mode but it's unusable choppy and slow. Anydesk doesn't work with wayland at all.
As mentioned above I run an older version of Fedora Kinoite because newer versions run with wayland only.
What are my options in this case? I don't care if the system runs X or wayland, it just have to support this use case.
- doublepg23 1y agoI believe Chrome Remote Desktop worked for me in the past?
- mnmalst 1y agoThanks for the tip but only firefox is available on those systems. (And mine)
- doublepg23 1y agoIs the issue with Wayland for sure or is it possible the Flatpak permissions are blocking access? I've used the app Flatseal to open up the sandbox to fix things before.
- mnmalst 1y agoNo it's definitely wayland. Anydesk shows a big notification that wayland is not supported and rustdesk shows a similar message informing you that wayland support is an alpha feature.
