Bug Description
True unattended access for Wayland lands in a completely separate .deb build for Debian-based GNU/Linux distributions, but distro-agnostic Flatpak or even just .rpm builds for Fedora (which switched to Wayland first) were excluded. These should be enabled in the nightly 1.5.0 builds, but could be gated behind a command-line launch flag if necessary. Filing here as:
an issue is the right place to ask for it.
How to Reproduce
- Get excited about true unatteded remote access no Wayland
- Head to the nightly builds
- Grab the Flatpak (or
.rpm) and install - Disappointment, albeit temporary
Expected Behavior
Unattended remote access should at least be able to test unattended access even if it means launching with a command-line flag to enable the service, plus any extra instructions required for Flatpak
