Anyone has a success story about deploying persistent multiuser VNC or RDP
setup on headless server running Wayland?

I used to use classic VNC and RDP (tigerVNC and Xrdpd respectively) to run
persistent desktop multi user, multi DE sessions. I need it for both home
lab and work.

This seems to be currently impossible to do with Wayland. When reaching out
to RH/Fedora/SuSE folks - I only hear childish, immature responses
suggesting that only newbies, windows people or idiots would need full
desktop session and even worse - persistent one.

At work, we use it for accessing long running interactive CAD sessions and
general workspaces on headless servers located in some caraway colo - from
laptops. We are connecting and disconnecting multiple times a day as we
roam between office cubicles, conference rooms, remote work locations. My
old X based session is 226 days on a host with 43 other KDE, Gnome, Mint
and Xfce sessions. At home, it is similar, except with fewer users.

In my previous job, we used self service, per user VMs. That is too wildly
progressive for our IT gatekeepers, so I am looking for traditional VNC or
RDP solution. And also for home use, so that I could move on from X on a
headless servers.

Anybody there who could help with good advice about how to go about it on
recent Fedora, openSuSE, Ubuntu LTS?

Thanks, Tomas
