I use VNC as the remote desktop server. You can use Remmina with the VNC
plugin or vncviewer to view it remotely. Note that I'm doing this on
systems using Xfce4 and X--not Wayland. I don't have a Wayland-based
system.

If you want to try, the way I did it was:

1. Make sure you have the xvnc module by installing the
tigervnc-server-module RPM.

2. Create an "/etc/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-vnc.conf" file
containing the following text:

	Section "Module"
	    Load "vnc"
	EndSection

	Section "Screen"
	    Identifier "Screen0"
	    Device "Videocard0"
	    Option "SecurityTypes" "VncAuth"
	    Option "UserPasswdVerifier" "VncAuth"
	    Option "passwordfile" "/root/.vnc/passwd"
	EndSection

3. Create the "/root/.vnc/passwd" file via:

	[root@golem4 ~]# mkdir /root/.vnc
	[root@golem4 ~]# vncpasswd /root/.vnc/passwd

and entering the password you plan to use.

4. Reboot your system to restart X. X should now be listening on port
5900:

	[root@golem4 ~]# netstat -lpnt | grep Xorg
	tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5900            0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN      1064/Xorg
	tcp6       0      0 :::5900                 :::*
LISTEN      1064/Xorg

5. Make sure your firewall accepts incoming TCP connections on port
5900.

6. Try connecting from a remote client. Use the password you set in step
3 when asked for authentication.

Works for me on Xfce4 and X. Again, I don't have a Wayland system so I
haven't tried setting it up on such a system. I'm also sure someone will
poke holes in this solution (putting on my flak jacket now....).

An alternative is to download and install the free version of
TeamViewer and use it. It does work.
