Frankly, remmina has not been that well-maintained recently. See the
Debian bug.
Partially true. Remmina only abandoned older 1,1.x version. Their
developer encourages everyone to use 1.2.x. It is well maintained (see
commit history: https://github.com/FreeRDP/Remmina/commits/next
The debian reporter/maintainer don't want to import 1.2 simply because
a plugin doesn't work with 1.2 which is atrocious. I think there was
some misunderstanding between them. This issue needs to be addressed as
quickly as possible.
GNOME on Wayland does not currently support remote desktop sharing.
The GNOME developers would like to have a remote desktop replacement
(similar to how Night Light provided redshift-like features on GNOME
on Wayland) but I don't think that's gotten very far yet. [2] When it
is implemented, it will be done "natively" so it won't need vino.
This is my main objection (along with pkexec issue) about making
wayland default. How will users use remote desktop in 17.10 then? Can
we not just use X for this cycle until these issues are fixed in
upstream?
Also, I feel there should also be a X session and xorg libraries
installed by default so that user can switch to X from gdm/lightdm.
Thanks.
