With the new release of GNOME Remote Desktop, sessions are now persistent. It’s the only Wayland solution that offers easy RDP access for remote users, and I’d say it actually beats the X solutions right now. At least for my use case.
I haven’t yet upgraded my server to test out the new release, though some have already. So that’s an option for users who want this, though it only works with GNOME.
I just tested this today and I was surprised to discover that RDP on plasma-wayland systems now works great, even on a plasma-nvidia-wayland host.
Also pleasantly surprised that the RDP client shows both connected displays on the host machine. In addition, RDP is stable even when connecting from a client over a wireless / cellular interface. It also works for a non-3389 port at the host.
Thank you KDE devs for the excellent work !
Here’s a sample setup, if anyone wants to try again :
Wayland Host
Manjaro Linux 25.0 Zetar KDE (testing branch)
Kernel 6.13.1
Plasma 6.2.5
NVIDIA 550.144
Wayland Client
KRDC 24.12.2
Manjaro Linux 25.0 Zetar KDE (testing branch)
Kernel 6.13.1
Plasma 6.2.5
Intel UHD620
On a side note, the KRDP github page is missing KRDC as a working client, which probably should be added.
