Problem

At present there’s no remote desktop support in elementaryOS: #3

Proposal

Ubuntu 22.04 now supports gnome-remote-desktop in sharing settings, which has built-in RDP. Hope elementaryOS could support this too.

Prior Art (Optional)

No response

Same Here!!!! as X11 VNC suck ass

I'm trying to add gnome-remote-desktop but im having no luck is anyone wanna to help me feel free to do so.

@BAProductions You do not say at what point it failed? I had a quick play with it and got somewhere but I do not have a second machine to properly test it out.

I installed the packages gnome-remote-desktop and gnome-connections. I changed the setting org.gnome.desktop.remote-desktop.rdp.enable to true using donf-editor Then restarted the computer. I tried to connect to localhost from the the same account but that caused Gnome Connections to crash (perhaps unsurprisingly). Connecting to localhost as a different user was partially successfully in that there was no crash and a remote connection window opened but an error about an authentication failure to a "transport layer failure" was shown. The remote desktop just showed a spinner. It might work on two machines though.

Try on installing gnome-remote-desktop and gnome-connections a VM & connecting or Trying using a VNC client on your mobile device

@BAProductions If you are working on adding some UI to the System Settings for setting up remote desktop sharing, maybe push a draft PR so others can see where you are at and can more easily make suggestions.
