I know an option called “Screen Share” exist under Sharing for GNOME but I do not have it.

I installed Arch manually with minimal everything and I think I’m lacking either a service or a whole library but I cannot pin point it.

Any ideas. I have libvncserver installed and GNOME Connections. Maybe a gsettings flag?

    pacman -Qi gnome-control-center look what packages are listed under optional dependencies

      optional dependencies

      ‘gnome-remote-desktop’ was it, thanks. Now, is it normal for it to be an ms-rd address rather than VNC?

          I have to hand it to Microsoft, RDP is way better than VNC. Probably mostly a function of RDP being written by Citrix in the late 90s early 2000s, as to where VNC dates farther back and was designed before modern compression and high bandwidth connections were a thing.

            Yeah, for sure. But even RDP is showing its age. Newer video compression based alternatives like Parsec are eating its lunch in terms of speed and latency.

              That’s a good point. The quality and latency of something like parsect is on another level. I’d love to see something like parsect as a remote desktop tool. Agent based ones are pretty good. I was playing with remotely, an open source remote access server and it really was decent, unfortunately it doesn’t support Wayland.
