Description

Discussed in https://github.com/winapps-org/winapps/discussions/19

Originally posted by LDprg July 17, 2023
Wayland with freerdp isnt that hard, we just need select between xfreerdp and the wlfreerdp command. This could happen automatically (based on env vars) or on a config field.

I would prefer to select automatically, as long as no config field is set.

Edit: fix typo

Research direction

Start by locating where WinApps invokes xfreerdp and where environment variables or configuration fields are handled. Compare the existing X11 path with the requested Wayland behavior; done means selecting wlfreerdp on Wayland, while retaining xfreerdp otherwise and honoring an explicit configuration choice if supported.
