More rationale from upstream. 00:03:00 <_pnowack> Trevinho: Assuming the backported UI works here, I think this change is good: It aligns with the state in GNOME 42 upstream and the RDP should be more stable than the VNC one. At least, when I found crashes I was able to fix them for the RDP backend and when I found bugs in FreeRDP upstream, then they were adressed pretty fast. The same cannot be said about libvncserver upstream 00:03:53 <Trevinho> _pnowack: also jadahl mentioned a security aspect of it, like keeping vnc enabled was a security concern per se 00:04:14 <Trevinho> can elaborate more on that? 00:05:18 <_pnowack> Trevinho: jadahl introduced for both the RDP and VNC backend an 'enabled' setting (which defaults to off). The reason is that the VNC server won't be silently enabled, when enabling RDP in g-c-c 00:05:30 <_pnowack> (VNC can still be used via grdctl though) 00:06:44 <_pnowack> Trevinho: Regaring security: VNC connections are not encrypted. Fedora uses some additional patches for this, but only a few clients support encrypted connections. For RDP, TLS is the default and g-r-d enforces that. 00:08:07 <_pnowack> which is also the reason why the new Remote Desktop panel has the 'Verify Encryption' button, allowing users to check the server certificate fingerprint (which should be the same, when connecting with an RDP client) _pnowack> Also: The clipboard integration in the RDP backend is more advanced (as the protocol allows it to be): Not just text, can be copied, but also images and files. Also, the RDP protocol uses delayed clipboard data rendering, meaning the clipboard content is only transferred when requested (VNC sets the clipboard content, meaning it is directly requested and transferred) 00:11:37 <_pnowack> Of course, the used RDP client needs to support clipboard integration too, to make use of that 00:12:25 <_pnowack> (Remmina, for example, only implements the clipboard support for text and images, but not files.)

In GNOME 42 the remote desktop support moved from VNC to RDP. We have the updated gnome-remote-desktop in jammy, but not the settings changes in gnome-control-center 41. The proposal is to backport these settings.
