My stepdad has an old AMD FX desktop I put Fedora on a little over a year ago. I would like to get Remote Desktop working so that when he calls me for tech support I can just remote into the desktop and show him what to do rather than have to do FaceTime tech support. I tried enabling the built in Remote Desktop server but apparently it has been broken for years and no one at KDE can be bothered to fix it. What is a good alternative?
“Remote desktop software for X11 stops working as Wayland comes in, and there are extremely limited options there like gnome-remote-desktop, wayvnc, and weston-rdp .”
“currently testing rustdesk […] Wayland support is still experimental…”

Unfortunately both KDE and Nvidia hate wayland with a passion and only now when the shift to it is being made, the wayland work for both have started now but they are still years beyond Gnome.
The way forward is to use Remote Desktop over Pipewire, which works but is a raster solution, which is not ideal if you for example run a 1080p fullscreen remote on a 1440p desktop.
See Krfb - KDE UserBase Wiki for more info.

I usually use this one, “remmina”
can you install putty?.
then you can use that as an rdp client.
