Promising... I'm pretty sure I looked at this last week? And it was in beta. Cool it now appears to be ready for general use. Looks like it has more contributors too. My use case is pretty much I have a Linux box I do testing and other things on but don't have enough screens (I have 3 machines and 4 monitors). So... I need to prioritise for work machines which means the Linux box has to go headless. As I said though, it appears all the distros are starting to drop x11 and most solutions still suggest it. Sigh.

Hi David,

Depends on your use case.

VNC works great but it (probably) requires a separate headless desktop, which is no good it you want to access the desktop currently running on the attached monitor.

There is also wayvnc [1], which allows a connection to currently running session.

I have noticed a number of distros are starting to drop support for x11. This becomes annoying if you are wanting to remote into a Linux box (itth a GUI) RDP style prior to logging in as all the documented solutions that don't require a cloud, docker or server seem to need xrdp, xvnc or similar x based solution installed.

Can anyone point me to a cross platform project that does not require x11?
