TigerVNC 1.16 Released With Wayland Desktop Sharing Support (linuxiac.com)

TigerVNC, a high-speed remote display system that allows users to view and interact with remote computers, has just released version 1.16.

The most notable addition is the introduction of w0vncserver, a new server designed specifically for sharing Wayland desktops, providing a native approach to exposing Wayland sessions over VNC, aligning TigerVNC more closely with the current Linux desktop trend.

The native viewer has also received improvements, with the long-standing F8 menu replaced by a new, more flexible keyboard shortcut system. In addition, system keys can now be sent even when the viewer is running in windowed mode, removing a common limitation during remote administration tasks.

Well, I've been waiting for a vnc support for wayland for like 5 years. Better late than never, I guess.

However, there are other gui based remote software: gnome's baked in rdp, cockpit in a sense..

I have no idea what space Cockpit and VNC occupy together.

I mean there's Rustdesk, Anydesk, Nomachine, KDE has an RDP and VNC (KRFB) server now...

Yeah I was going to say the same. A year ago I couldn't get any VNC to work under Wayland and gave up on the idea, nowadays just use RDP (Xrdp, Gnome RDP, etc.). I don't usually need screen sharing specifically so RDP fits my use case perfectly.

But it's great to see VNC catching up, more remote options are always better.
