xrdp - What is Canonical's solution/strategy for Remote Desktop in Ubuntu?

Ever since breaking solutions like xrdp with Unity's hardware acceleration, I've been wondering what Canonical would do to replace it or what their official recommendation would be.



Is this no longer a priority for Canonical/Ubuntu?
Is the recommendation to...




  • Install a second / 3rd party desktop environment that works with x2go, etc?

  • Use some other 3rd party remote desktop solution?

  • "Figure it out" as an OSS community?




Would very much appreciate citing any official source or someone who is involved in the work that goes into Ubuntu/Mir/whatever-replaces-x11, etc. :)



Also I recognize this answer may change and get updated as Mir development continues...



Other people/places where this has been asked but I didn't find an answer:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/mir-devel/2015-March/001080.html



Probably relevant since Mir is used for mobile:
Remote desktop/remote display viewer for Ubuntu Touch devices?



EDIT: To be clear I am not asking for "the best" - I am asking about Canonicals recommendation or their future plans for how remote desktop should work. "No plan" is also a valid answer.
