Microsoft has released[1] the RDP documentation, which is what FreeRDP is based on[2]. Open-sourcing their implementation would not help, since it's deeply integrated into the OS.

I was hoping Wayland would take remote desktop seriously when I heard about the effort, but sadly that was not to be.

How would you propose Wayland take remote desktop seriously?


By taking it into consideration from day 1, as a decent remote desktop experience requires tight integration.


Wayland doesn't work properly even without these considerations though. Horrible tearing in Chrome when watching video, at least on my machine, crazy high CPU usage too. I had to switch back to X.
