openSUSE Conference 2023 - Remote headless Wayland sessions on GNOME

Talk about the work I've been doing in the last year
When using *Xorg**, in order to have a headless remote session we could use **Xvnc**, and it worked great. You can start with it a headless **Xorg* display, on top of it use any desktop environment or just run a *Xorg* client and access it using *VNC* protocol.
Now with *Wayland**, the display server is also the windows manager/compositor so there isn't just one single display server to use any desktop environment but each desktop environment has its own **Wayland* compositor implementation.
In this talk, I will explain my quest to have a *Wayland* headless remote desktop using the *RDP* protocol in the *GNOME* environment.
Most of the work I'm doing is on this [MR](gitlab.gnome.o....
