Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

My go to is Sunshine (server) and Moonlight (client). It's meant for gaming so latency is incredibly low. Never seen anything better.
I have been using Rustdesk. Works with Wayland but only with one monitor, I can't switch to another. But other than that works great and they even have selfhosted option for relay server.
Unattended
Don't use Rustdesk as it introduces a major risk into your environment.
Please elaborate on this. What risks are introduces?
The developers behind it are effectively faceless but they have a history of doing questionable things. I also don't like how they only place to get Rustdesk is from the developers. The entire project just gives off bad vibes. If it was something lower risk like a music player it wouldn't be a big deal but we are talking about software that connects to Chinese servers and has root/admin privileges
software that connects to Chinese servers
You can set up your own server, so it doesn't have too.
only place to get Rustdesk is from the developers.
Shouldn't it be like this though. Rustdesk is in the AUR, which downloads the source from Github, like a lot of other software packages does. You can also build it yourself.
The developers behind it are effectively faceless
https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk has contributors listed, so not exactly what I would call "faceless". Sure, there is not really any real names on it, but having real names on Open Source projects in github is not the norm.
I run xrdp on a terminal server for work
No Wayland support currently
hmm, doesn't KRdp run on that though? The only issue is that you usually have to kick off an initial login session for it to run in iirc
Yes, that's because KRPD is dependent on the KDE desktop. (I believe it depends on kwin specifically but K can't remember)
yeah I was able to get around that on one of our boxes as it was vmware. Are you able to autologin a user with no real privileges that has something like a five second inactivity lockscreen?
Honestly I would just use Xrdp if you are needing proper terminal services.
Alternatively there is KasmVNC. You either can run full Kasm or you could just use the webtop containers provided by Linuxserverio.
