It’s really more like Remote Desktop+. It has some additional “features” (slight retch) on top of traditional Remote Desktop features.

Let’s wait and see if it’s actually more secure than traditional Remote Desktop.

(and I’d still rather use Wine)

Did they invent X11 Forwarding over the network?

X11 can render individual windows (Xclients) through the network on another Xserver since decades. With XPRA you can even buffer them, to move them from one Xserver to another or make sure they survive network disconnect. It’s very cool, but not widely used.

Unlike X11, Wayland was never intended to be network transparent. As others say, solutions like waypipe and more tradionally RDP and VNC exist.

waypipe exists, but it’s still not perfect.

Yes, the ssh -X flag forwards it.

I doubt it’s nearly as secure as OpenSSH though.

Bottles and boxes are basically the Windows app.

No, it’s just remote. Remote desktop is now also called Windows, also the operating system you are connecting to is called Windows.

Gnome has relatively good rdp support, so with this you could use Windows (the app) on Windows (the os) to connect to you Linux machine running Gnome.

It seems deliberately confusing naming is working as expected, Microsoft marketing team should get extra raise.

Microsoft strategy 101. My “favourite” is the database called “SQL Server”
