That's not failing unless it comes back to the prompt. How long did you
wait? Is it already running for that user?
He's bringing the PC to me so I can experiment now, but I think it went back to the prompt and evolution simply never appeared. My DISPLAY was set to localhost:10.0 but it's somehow possible it was being displayed on his computer.

I don't know about Cinnamon. Maybe it doesn't have it. In Gnome,
there's a section called "Sharing" which has ssh, desktop sharing, and
file sharing.
I believe Cinnamon is just a window manager on top of GNOME?
I'm an old-school admin who used to build his own X configs - haven't kept up with the desktop stuff, despite having fedora as my daily driver for decades :-)

It's both and Wayland doesn't have an RDP server. Both sides run
rustdesk and one side does the connection using the connection info
provided from the other side.
All the googling I've done hasn't resulted in any docs on how to download/setup/configure rustdesk on the server side. Do you have a pointer on how to do this?
I'm also assuming his desktop is wayland, given it's the fedora default, so should I convert to Xorg? It's a basic 10yo PC with a built-in video card and 64GB RAM.
