Thankfully I don't have to, I want shiny new software thanks.

Nobody uses them any more.

That's a choice. I prefer uptime more, for example. I use boring technology to create fun things.

You should follow X2Go users' & OpenOnDemand mailing lists. They're very heavily used by some significant groups (e.g. scientists).

Remote connections are dead, Netcraft confirms.

I fear my slashdot joke was not appreciated. Infamously, a post on Slashdot once stated (probably 20 years ago) "OpenBSD is dead, Netcraft confirms" - Netcraft's methods were then widely ridiculed, and obviously OpenBSD continues to be very much alive to this day.

I remember reading that, but failed to make the connection (hah!). Probably a bit too tired from physical sysadmin work.

You can run remote applications with Wayland now: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterp...

There is also a VNC server for fullscreen sessions (only supports wlroots compositors for now): https://github.com/any1/wayvnc
