From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I know an option called "Screen Share" exist under Sharing for GNOME but I do not have it.
I installed Arch manually with minimal everything and I think I'm lacking either a service or a whole library but I cannot pin point it.
Any ideas. I have libvncserver installed and GNOME Connections. Maybe a gsettings flag?
Which version of GNOME are you using? Wayland or X?
44 Wayland.
pacman -Qi gnome-control-center look what packages are listed under optional dependencies

'gnome-remote-desktop' was it, thanks. Now, is it normal for it to be an ms-rd address rather than VNC?
Yes, I believe they swapped from VNC to RDP a while ago. Much more performant.
I have to hand it to Microsoft, RDP is way better than VNC. Probably mostly a function of RDP being written by Citrix in the late 90s early 2000s, as to where VNC dates farther back and was designed before modern compression and high bandwidth connections were a thing.
Yeah, for sure. But even RDP is showing its age. Newer video compression based alternatives like Parsec are eating its lunch in terms of speed and latency.
