  3. xrdp

    xrdp: an open source RDP server

    Project mention: IronRDP: a Rust implementation of Microsoft's RDP protocol | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-03-21

    Just a quick note from somebody who's been tinkering with RDP: RDP is so much more than remote desktop, and this ironrdp thing looks cool but is also severely limited.

    xrdp supports forwarding audio (playback and microphone forwarding, both ways) as well as local folder forwarding. And I think i also got webcam working (webcam on my laptop forwarded to the browser running on the remote host).

    for reference: https://www.xrdp.org/

    I hope this implementation gets to a maturity level to make it actually usable for realistic remote desktop usage :)

  4. rdesktop

    🚨 rdesktop is in need of a new maintainter. Please see the home page for more details. 🚨

  5. wayvnc

    A VNC server for wlroots based Wayland compositors

    Project mention: DeskPad – A virtual monitor for screen sharing | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-10

    Yeah. On Wlroots or Sway, we can setup virtual displays pretty easily (swaymsg create_output, done). Then both the other person and yourself connect to the wayvnc vnc server server to see what's over there.

    Available May 2020, https://github.com/any1/wayvnc/issues/7#issuecomment-6256611...
