octoberfranklin·Aug 20, 2022Recommendation phrase
There is an excellent and ultra high-performance remote desktop server for Linux. It's called xorgxrdp: https://github.com/neutrinolabs/xorgxrdp I love it. It only works with X11, not with Wayland. Wayland refuses to add a protocol command for "blit this image to this surface" (would be ~20 bytes). That is the critical feature your protocol must have in order to get good RDP performance. Windows GDI has it. To get good, responsive RDP you need to be able to send an image across the network once, and then be able to blit it to on-screen surfaces without having to upload the whole image again. Windows GDI has this. X11 has this. That's why they're fast.
