  • xpra

    Persistent remote applications for X11; screen sharing for X11, MacOS and MSWindows.

  • FWIW I had decent success with Xpra on Linux, and it's still being actively developed, e.g. the HTML5 client is considered stable now: https://github.com/Xpra-org/xpra/

  • Sunshine

    Self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight.

  • RDP as a regular or quick solution is actually really decent in this respect.

  • Virtual-Display-Driver

    Add virtual monitors to your windows 10/11 device! Works with VR, OBS, Sunshine, and/or any desktop sharing software.

  • Not sure about this particular situation, but this driver has worked great for me when using Sunshine on a VM without a dummy plug: https://github.com/itsmikethetech/Virtual-Display-Driver

  • rustdesk

    An open-source remote desktop, and alternative to TeamViewer.

  • Take your risk to use it, it is not signed and verified by Microsoft, and you need to install the test cert to use it. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/6444#discus...
