lightdm or gdm?

[Daniel van Vugt]

(I know the question wasn't directly relevant to this thread but it's 
worth clearing up...)

Mir /was/ going to support remote desktops eventually. Just as Gnome 
Shell on Wayland will (if not already) support them. The functionality 
might not be complete yet, but that's just because it's still too new 
and nobody has done the work yet.

Regardless, you always have the option of running other desktop 
environments with Ubuntu.

If some feature like remote desktop support is broken or missing in 
Ubuntu 17.10/18.04, please log a bug...
