Is there any open-source remote desktop that forwards the full desktop experience (not just pixels, but also audio, input devices beyond keyboard & mouse, with high refresh rates and low latency)?

wprs: * does audio by forwarding a pulseaudio/pipewire socket, but it doesn't work so well for remote networks. I'd like to do something better in the future. * defaults to 60fps and can support significantly higher refresh rates, depend on your cpu and bandwidth. * aims to be low latency but prioritizes quality and so requires a good cpu and network connection to be low latency * should be able to handle (possibly with some additional code) any input devices wayland supports

pixels, audio, input devices should work these days. additional devices could be forwarded with usbip

high refresh rates and low latency are non-trivial problems because they require realtime video encoding which is less bandwidth efficient than offline encoding which means you need a network transport which can shovel high bandwidth data at low latency and gracefully handle packet losses. if you do it over the open internet you also need to adapt to variable bandwidth. all these things have been done, but someone would still need to tie all of it together in an open source solution. There's the sunshine/moonlight combo for remote game streaming, but it lacks other features for remote desktop use.

Aren't you asking too much? We barely have these on the local machine...

I think Arcan can do that ( https://arcan-fe.com/ ). And arguably Plan 9?
