In my 22.04 install I see I have gnome-remote-desktop, and looking at the manifest I see it's part of the the default install.
According to the synaptic description 'This daemon enables GNOME to offer remote desktop sharing using VNC with PipeWire. It supports both GNOME on X and GNOME on Wayland. Remote sharing can be enabled and managed in the GNOME Settings app.'
The Help section says 'You can let other people view and control your desktop from another computer with a desktop viewing application.'
This doesn't seem like something I much want - I'd really rather that the facility for someone else to control my machine wasn't there at all unless I deliberately choose (as admin) to install it. Then it can't be enabled and insecurely configured by me or anyone else.
I take the same (admittedly uninformed) view of some of its dependencies like libvncserver and libfreerdpserver, which seem to march me along the way towards having a server installed in my box that someone can try to connect to.
Anyone else have thoughts - am I just being paranoid about this?
