For RDP, you've got KRDP and gnome-remote-desktop.

That "with a running session" bit greatly helps here. While GDM allows you to have remote login and headless sessions [1], with SDDM you're locked out for the moment. There's plans to turn SDDM into a KDE-powered, more featured plasma-login-manager with KRDP integration, but no concrete development yet [2].

Last time I tried krdp, it didn't fit my needs. I needed to have already started krdp locally if I want to connect remotely. Neither x11vnc nor freerdp-shadow have that limitation.

It is possible to start it on-demand via the command-line. That is how krdp is developed and tested. You will need to pre-authorize krdp to the portal system, though.

That's documented here: https://develop.kde.org/docs/administration/portal-permissio...

Since Plasma 6.1 (june 2024) you get a system settings module where you can enable KRDP to run at login.

(I assumed being logged in is what you meant by having "a running session".)
