From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I only just switched to Linux last month that time I don't know what Wayland or X11 is and I just use Linux like normal without knowing I'm using Wayland (KDE), now since I'm already configured my KDE desktop on Wayland and I don't wanna do it again, so I'm looking for a remote desktop that work under Wayland not locally but from anywhere does anyone know software like that exist? (Sorry for horrible English)

I've always liked "nomachine" for remote desktop access. It seems to support Wayland.

We use NoMachine at work too, for WFH users' remote access to internal servers and virtual desktops. It's a nice tidy solution, it was forked from NX library from the X2GO project about 10 years ago and went commercial, they used the commercial money to continue to develop the technology.

Given it was forked from NX/X2GO it definitely works better on Xorg than Wayland, it seems like Wayland support was added as an afterthought bolted on.
