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](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-remote-desktop/-/merge_requests/139).
