When using Xorg, in order to have a headless remote session we could use Xvnc, and it worked great. You can start with it a headless
Xorg display, on top of it use any desktop environment or just run a Xorg client and access it using VNC protocol.
Now with Wayland, the display server is also the windows manager/compositor so there isn't just one single display server to use any
desktop environment but each desktop environment has its own Wayland compositor implementation.
In this talk, I will explain my quest to have a Wayland headless remote desktop using the RDP protocol in the GNOME environment.
Most of the work I'm doing is on this MR https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-....
