Remote desktop on Wayland, done properly

Silux Connect uses GNOME's own remote-desktop interface on Wayland, so you get full control without switching the computer to X11.

How it works

The agent asks GNOME (Mutter) for a remote-desktop session with screen capture and input, the same way GNOME's built-in sharing does.

Also on X11

On X11 desktops you also get the privacy screen and block-input features.

Frequently asked questions
