| stevenm__ | bigpod, yeah | 13:30 |
| stevenm__ | but still RDP instead? ick | 13:30 |
| bigpod | well in windows it works realy well and its realy quick | 13:30 |
| bigpod | so rather that than something that is crap | 13:31 |
| stevenm__ | I know the days of drawing instructions (early RDP and X11 forwarding) are over as codecs are now more efficient ... but still *some* alternative to RDP would have been nice | 13:31 |
| stevenm__ | something more home grown in the linux camp | 13:31 |
| bigpod | well something realy good like that is kinda hard to make require a lot of time | 13:31 |
| goddard | depends on your client | 13:31 |
| stevenm__ | not unless RDP gets an RFC :P | 13:31 |
| goddard | VNC has a ton of clients | 13:32 |
| goddard | and different servers | 13:32 |
| goddard | its just a protocol | 13:32 |
| stevenm__ | well unless VNC gets a crap load quicker - it's poop | 13:32 |
| goddard | what do all those game streaming services use? | 13:32 |
| stevenm__ | probably some patent-laden video codecs no one has heard of | 13:33 |
| goddard | valve has been pretty open lately | 13:33 |
| daftykins | xrdp has been workable for me for a tinkering desktop Linux VM i occasionally reach over a VPN | 13:33 |
| goddard | he wants a rdp server for linux | 13:33 |
| daftykins | that's what xrdp does | 13:34 |
| stevenm__ | who is 'he' ? | 13:34 |
| goddard | oh really i thought it was only a client | 13:34 |
| goddard | i use xrdp before it was good | 13:34 |
| daftykins | install it on a desktop install, log out of the session... instantly you can reach that host using the Windows RDP client (mstsc) | 13:34 |
| daftykins | i haven't dug into the level of security it employes, just seen it work | 13:35 |
| daftykins | -e | 13:35 |
| stevenm__ | daftykins, does the xrdp version have multi monitor support and remotefx? because the freerdp server implementation in gnome 40 doesn't | 13:35 |
| daftykins | couldn't tell you | 13:36 |
| daftykins | i mean those are backend features when RDP is used from Windows hosts, so expecting it to be in place on a Linux desktop would seem unlikely | 13:37 |
| daftykins | not both necessarily but certainly the latter | 13:37 |
| stevenm__ | actually they're working on it from what I've heard | 13:37 |
| daftykins | specifically the xrdp 'project'? | 13:38 |
| stevenm__ | no I'm referring to g-r-d using freerdp | 13:38 |
| ducasse | a quick search indicates remotefx works with intel and amd when xdp is built with glamor support | 13:39 |
| ducasse | *xrdp, sorry | 13:40 |
| bigpod | those streaming services generaly build with the codecs we heard of but they use stuff like GPUs too speed encoding and such | 13:41 |
| bigpod | well microsoft has been doing some pull requests on freerdp lately | 13:42 |
| stevenm__ | spoke with the guy who wrote this... https://gitlab.gnome.org/-/snippets/1778 | 13:42 |
| stevenm__ | but I don't think it's xrdp related (as I think xrdp is specific to x11... and this is wayland territory) | 13:42 |
| stevenm__ | maybe we can get pipewire clients for windows - and somehow do it that way? :D | 13:43 |
| stevenm__ | course pipewire would have to carry the graphics, the sound & things like keyb/mouse, printers, etc... | 13:44 |
| stevenm__ | but at least it wouldn't be us recreating some shitty MS proprietary protocol | 13:44 |
| stevenm__ | a worthy successor to X11 forwaring / NoMachine 3 / X2Go | 13:44 |
| daftykins | easy on the language please, no need to get like that over software politics | 13:45 |
