From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

set up some remote desktop in case you need to support them when your vacation ends
Rustdesk! Its a GUI copy of Teamviewer but it works.
It has all the DynDNS stuff that miss in all the other options so they are unusable in countries where IP addresses change.
But no wayland, yet.
Waypipe could probably be used as a reference or incorporated as a library to make it work
Rustdesk supports Wayland but only "experimental"
It doesnt work. Just static viewing.
Worked for me...?
Cool! On wayland? What compositor, flatpak or native?
Not sure
Yes Wayland, but experimentally.
Already threw RustDesk on there and tested it.
