I would support this, but Wayland always lacks support for remote. I have to switch to x11 if I want to work on it via teamviewer (past) or rustdesk (present).
I just tested freerdp on gnome wayland and it works (via Settings -> Sharing -> Remote Desktop). Combined with tailscale/zerotier, you should be able to remote from anywhere via RDP.
It cannot be used to log in, potentially can’t even unlock but I haven’t used it in a while (Edit: confirmed it cannot connect if locked). A reboot preventing access until I go back to the local console is not fun.
I realize for their rustdesk example it’s not really different iirc, but there are solutions for x11.
GNOME 46 (currently in release candidate mode and fully releasing later this month on March 20) is adding support for remote graphical logins via rdp:

So you'll be able to do this pretty soon, after upgrading.
It'll be in Fedora 40, scheduled for release around April 16.

Ah, I see. I disable automatic lock on my desktop and have automatic login so it was not an issue for me.
This works in a private network you own. But my remote system is at work. I can not use it with full automatic login. Hell it's even encrypted and has a BIOS PW.
You can use the built in remote access tool. Also Rustdesk does have some support but it is getting better slowly.
ironically that's literally what x11 is made for.
How is that ironic?
