Somehow with XWayland enabled, the app still specifically demanded an actual X11 session
I guess it’s because Horizon can probably act as a host to control the desktop and as client to control other desktop. The latter should work with XWayland, the former not. As I wrote: RustDesk works just fine. What RustDesk doesn’t currently offer with Wayland is unattended access. The desktop that’s about to be remote controlled gets a question to confirm remote access, at least under Gnome.
My somewhat educated guess is that it’s more likely that Gnome’s permission system gets a “always allow remote access” button before a X11 application gets a Wayland port when the decade until now a Wayland port was no priority.
RustDesk could be a brilliant option, but the company is huge and there’s little chance to alter management decisions of this magnitude. This would take a lot of work on IT team, and as of right now, they can’t even care to update what they have, featuring outdated clients because they somehow “work better”.
But anyway, thanks for advice! Could be useful for my own projects.
