• FreeRDP: A Remote Desktop Protocol Implementation

  Https://remmina.org/ The promise behind this sounds like the holy grail of Remote Access. Is it Linux-only for the clients? Or can you use Mac or Windows to reach it? - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• "I need to test something on a Mac real quick", as solved by AWS EC2

  Next up, we need some sort of VNC client on our workstation. I strongly recommend Remmina if you value not spending your time debugging and configuring things. Just select "VNC" from the main connection bar's dropdown, punch in localhost:5900, and hit enter. An authentication screen will pop up: fill it with ec2-user for the username, and whatever password you provided to dscl earlier. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

• Dex to Windows remote access?

  Using RD Client on DeX to RDP in to Windows. Sometimes I use self-hosted Remmina to get access for Windows, Linux, CLI and other things. Source: 12 months ago

• Microsoft Remote Desktop

  I use the Remmina RDP Client multiple hours per day every day to connect to various servers on both my home and work networks. Source: about 1 year ago

• Dualbooting windows vs. virtual machine vs. remote vm

  I would try out a Windows VM on your home server and use the RDP protocol to connect to it with https://remmina.org/ or https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Vinagre . (Will need a Windows Pro version for enabling remote access with RDP.). Source: about 1 year ago

TurboVNC mentions (6)

• VNC server rant

  TurboVNC with VirtualGL, the performance-premier implementation today. TVNC and VGL are developed together by the same person and are tuned for max performance. Source: about 1 year ago

• Nvidia drivers cause instabilities on laptops

  Install VirtualGL and TurboVNC. (They are developed together by the same person; TVNC is the performance-premier VNC implementation now.) Run vglserver_config with no disablements or restrictions. Thereafter, put export VGL_DEVICE=egl in your .bash_login (or similar), and run graphics apps by prefixing with vglrun. Under VGL, all OpenGL, most XCB, and a few X primitive calls will be carried out in the dGPU. Source: about 1 year ago

• x11vnc setup

  I suggest dropping TigerVNC in favor of TurboVNC. It's a performance-oriented fork from Tiger developed by someone who cares, who is also the person producing VirtualGL, the premier tool for engaging GPU support in apps not running on a console session (vnc, xpra, ssh). Source: over 1 year ago

• Why are there no good remote desktops?

  In part it may depend on which VNC you're using. Do away with Tight and Tiger, get TurboVNC + VirtualGL. Both are produced by a guy who's very dedicated. TurboVNC is a performance-oriented fork of Tiger. TVNC and VGL are tuned to optimize with each other. Source: over 1 year ago

• Rent machines per hour?

  So run a VNC session*, with a viewer running on your local machine, and your choice of desktop in that. Or (better, in my opinion) use XPRA to run your remote tools as native-ish apps & windows within your local desktop. Source: over 1 year ago
