Apart from that I am looking for a solution to a personal issue (see my other comment), I posted this because I was thinking this could be a great way to support other new Linux users and friends.

    There was a bit of controversy about them a couple of years back that put me off.

    • They used to disable Wayland and force X11 - that was a pain.
    • They didn’t fully open source all components I think.
    • There was some concerns about where it was being developed, I think it’s entirely Chinese devs.

      Yep, as for the last point: the problem was not so much the devs but data going through a Chinese server

      I also avoided it for some of these reasons, but in the end it was just the setup that got messy. I ended up using Sunshine/Moonlight for an overall nicer experience. I can use it to stream games if I’ve got a good connection, or toss it in low bandwidth mode for remote admin work. I run it behind Tailscale to access it from anywhere, it supports Wayland, it’s all fully open source, and I’m very happy with the setup.
