swaysome VS wayvnc

I don't actually remember what xmonad with workspaces by default (or what sway does, for that matter), I used https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.1/docs/XMonad-Layout-IndependentScreens.html to get an independent set of workspaces per screen. You can (and I do) use https://gitlab.com/hyask/swaysome to get that with sway.

This is what I have in my config. (I am using swaysome to keep it generalized)

I found a package swaysome that also that also seems to help and allows me to all monitors workspace simultaneously. This is what I have so far...

I did this with Swaysome: https://gitlab.com/hyask/swaysome

You can run remote applications with Wayland now: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...

There is also a VNC server for fullscreen sessions (only supports wlroots compositors for now): https://github.com/any1/wayvnc

There's wayvnc.

It says on their GitHub page that "Gnome, KDE, and Weston are not supported". What does that mean?

I thought this existed in the form of wayvnc but from their README it seems they don't support the popular desktop environments (GNOME, KDE).

Not sure if I would call it hassle free, but wayvnc isn't that hard to set up.

And wayvnc

There is however a fresh issue on the wayvnc github with what looks like your problem. https://github.com/any1/wayvnc/issues/206

On wayvnc git master and sway 1.8 (or git master), you can script things so that a "virtual" display gets created automatically when someone connects to VNC, and removed when they disconnect.

See https://github.com/any1/wayvnc/pull/200/files

The script in the PR does something a bit different, but it's only an example and can be modified to do what I described in the first paragraph.

No - it's not X, it's doesn't share a screen in the way X does.

That said... if this is a shoddy attempt at a "gotcha" style question - Screen sharing and remote desktop are both supported.

Ex - for Gnome:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop

LibVNCServer for VNC support, FreeRDP for remote desktop protocol.

For KDE:

https://userbase.kde.org/Krfb

Which mostly just works as long as you have Pipewire and xdg-desktop-portal-kde installed (the base plasma-wayland session usually includes them)

This one is a bit less polished - some users still have problems with keyboard input, depending on the distro and other installed packages.

For Sway:

xdg-desktop-portal-wlr works just fine for screen sharing, and you can use https://github.com/any1/wayvnc for VNC access (including having a completely headless machine).

Ah right, looks like the VNC server you're using is xorg only. You can try WayVNC for gaming mode https://github.com/any1/wayvnc .
