wayvnc

wayvnc is a VNC server for Linux systems using Waylands compositors using wlroots. To use wayvnc the system with the server has to be on the same network as the client. This is also explained in the screen sharing entry.

Setup

Many Linux package managers package wayvnc in the wayvnc package.

Starting and Running
