Kwin also has support since 5.25 Thank you! That's great information. I just upgraded to Plasma 5.25, so are there instructions somewhere on how to enable it? I didn't see anything that looks relevant when going through System Settings. I have been trying to find a way to use this feature, are there any guides on how to set it up? It appears the way to do this is with the `krfb-virtualmonitor` program, so Krfb needs to be installed, and what you do is you run `krfb-virtualmonitor --name WirelessDisplay --resolution 1920x1080 --password pAsSwOrD --port 5900` (change the resolution, port and password as needed), then with your phone/tablet/whatever you can connect to your system using a VNC client (on Android you can try bVNC for example, but just about any should work). You'll also need to know your system's IP address, I think that is shown in the Plasma System Monitor, and you need to make sure whatever port you pick is allowed through your system's firewall if you have one. Also, I think that might only work on Wayland, never tried it on X11 but I know it uses PipeWire. |
