Cinnamon comes originally from Linux Mate and Clement Lefebrvre - maybe follow what they package as their desktop as a basis for the full desktop metapackage if you haven't before?? > For now I know that I should remove vino from the recommended ones but I > don't know exactly which remote access system would be best to replace it > with. > > gnome-remote-desktop would be good, but unfortunately it has parts tied to > gnome, x2goserver which is now an alternative to vino seems to me to be > poorly supported (from a quick look, I could be wrong) and if I remember > correctly it is active by default at installation so it might not be a great > choice, regarding xrdp and others I had tried something many years ago, but > I am not up to date. > Ideally, yes, don't pull in masses of GNOME. It does seem that a lot of people rely on Cinnamon at least partly because it's lighter weight and needs fewer resources. if you can make cinnamon more self contained, that might be a lot better.

If people really want VNC, then TigerVNC is there in Debian for all architectures. Hope this helps, All the very best, as ever, Andrew Cater (amaca...@debian.org)
