lamco-rdp-server 1.4.4 adds a cross-vendor Vulkan Video encoder, new transports, and broader Wayland desktop compatibility. Free Community Edition available now.
A Linux RDP server should be able to see and report its own metrics and health. Here's the upstream work putting that into the capture, input, and portal streams, from IronRDP to PipeWire.
On many Wayland compositors, the portal backend that lets apps screen-share, inject input, and read the clipboard is only half there. I built the missing half.
Why RDP beats VNC for a modern Linux desktop, and why building it native to Wayland instead of bolting it onto the old X11 path is the part that matters.
lamco-rdp-server is an RDP server that runs natively on Wayland. Any RDP client connects to your Linux desktop on GNOME, KDE, or Sway, with no X11 involved.
