At least X sends something over the network. What I want is a way for Wayland to do something that looks similar, be it client side rendering or screenshots. Just something I can actually use. Right now I'm using Xpra instead of regular X fowarding because regular X fowarding uses a huge amount of bandwidth and can't handle disconnecting and reconnecting. Or more accuratly a fork because the original isn't maintained anymore.

While we're on the off-topic of network transperancy, is their any reasonable solution like MS' Remote Desktop on the linux world compared to that besides XDMCP, but provides for that integrated experience? Are there any paid-for proprietry solutions as an example of someone who's implemented something at least?
And why has this stuff fallen by the wayside? It seems to me that having several servers and desktops interfaces seemlessly 'working' (especially your preferred UI experience) on the local machine to be a pretty good thing. Click button here, work gets done there, and my local machine can get on with doing its own thing.
Or has a free RDP implementation been that far integrated already in Wayland that it's effectively replaced and no one knows it exists?
Bare in mind, I'm new to this 'old unused' XDMCP tech, so go easy =) I'm just curious as to what's happened to it when so many people still talk about it.Last edited by stiiixy; 30 June 2014, 07:41 PM.Hi

I actually don't know. Since I haven't needed to remote in 5 years. Hopefully someone else can post.
I can tell you that wayland's strategy is to not have a built in networked gui system. They plan to support remote access software (hence the patches a year ago), but they don't plan to have a built in one.
I know there are several programs for remote access, and I suspect that once wayland is in the wild they will add support for wayland. I think I remember hearing that one of the remote programs already has support.... but I don't remember the name.
Sorry I can't help more.

Openbox on Kwin + Wayland would be good no?
No idea. not a programmer.

Gui programs on linux haven't been network transparent for a long time. Instead, it has been mostly sending screenshots over the network in a very inefficient manner.
Wayland will be better for gui apps over the network.
