I'm using Ubuntu (LTS) and probably is the most stable option out there
(my opinion)
I use Ubuntu Server for Guacamole and Ubuntu Desktop to allow RDP
connections.
The actual answer to your question depends a lot about the specifics of
your intended use, since every option comes with its own issues.
Generally speaking I've found using Ubuntu Desktop installing xRDP a
very useful option for most cases, particularly joining it to the
windows domain (realm) so anyone may login using their AD (windows)
credentials.
You can even add Crossover on top of it (paid version) to install some
Windows software like Microsoft Office, SAP GUI, SAP B1, Epicor and some
others
Hope it helps

TL;DR: I'm looking for advise on using Guacamole to access a virtual
desktop environment in a Wayland environment.
I was previous running a Tightvnc virtual desktop, this was on a Ubuntu
desktop running X11. This would allow me to login remotely via
Guacamole and have access to all of my data on my server, but also not
disrupt the servers :0 display/environment.
With Ubuntu's migration to Wayland I have not found a way to duplicate
this setup and am wondering how best I might move forward. Also I
should mention that while I could revert to running Ubuntu as X11, I
have found benefits to Wayland that I'd like to keep in place.
Things I have explored:
Continuing to run an virtual X11vnc server at the same time as a
wayland physical desktop--this doesn't appear to work.
RDP Server- Ubuntu has a built in RDP server, but as far as I can tell
there is no way to create a virtual desktop, and it's always connected
to the physical desktop.
Wayvnc- I thought this was going to be my solution, but it appears to
not work with Gnome. While Gnome is not a requirement, I have been
unable to get a virtual wayvnc session connected to another desktop
environment, but would be interested to know if this is possible.
Other possible solutions I have thought about:
Running an entire virtual machine on the server and accessing via a
Guacamole protocol-- I'd like to know more about and what works best.
Using a different distro. I'm in the process of building a new
desktop, so if it makes sense to use a distro other that Ubuntu it
would be a convenient time to migrate.
Something else? Am I just missing something? Guacamole works so great
for providing the connection, there has to be a real simple way to get
back to what I had before.
I look forward to hearing any thoughts and suggestions on this.
