I can respond to a few of my own questions... I installed a RHEL10 system for testing, and discovered that I can enable multi-user support with GNOME RDP, and users can use their regular username and password to login.
Disadvantages: 1) After logging into Guac, and selecting a host, the user gets the GDM screen where they have to re-enter their username and password! It doesn't look like you can pass in the username and password from guac as I've always done with XRDP. This is super unintuitive for users who have just been logging into guac, and then clicking through to various hosts without having to re-enter their username and password each time. 2) It doesn't look like sound works. 3) I had to use guac 1.6.0 on my test host, guac 1.5.5 does not work (but I haven't been able to upgrade to 1.6.0 on my main host due to a bug). Not sure about performance yet. Still would love to hear from people with other solutions. Jason.

We use Apache Guacamole to allow our users to access various servers and workstations remotely using RDP. For RDP on our Linux systems, we use XRDP+XorgXRDP. All of our Linux systems run RHEL8 (well, Rocky 8). RHEL8 is out of full support mode now, so it's time to move on. RHEL9 will be out of full support in May 2027, and since the upgrade process is extremely lengthy, I want to skip right to RHEL10. However, there's a big problem - Red Hat has removed xorg support from the distribution, and we're left with just Wayland. That's all fine - Wayland is maturing - but XRDP doesn't yet support Wayland. We need to find a solution with RHEL10. We need to be able to maintain users ability to run GNOME remotely, cut and paste from local to remote system, maintain disconnected sessions so that users don't lose their session after disconnected. I don't think the solution is so easy. I understand that GNOME now includes built in RDP support, but from what I understand, it has to be configured for each user, each user has a separate password for it, and I believe (thought I could be wrong) that it's meant for users to connect to an existing local session remotely. Most users are accessing our systems remotely without having a local session open. I was looking into solutions — possibly an RDP or VNC server that supports Wayland. I see there's something called "wayvnc", but it doesn't support GNOME, and for consistency, I'd really like the users to be able to access their similar environment remotely. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really love to hear them. Jason.
