   Working with Nomachine for a few years now. It just works. It is fast and pretty easy to setup. There are often updates and the update prices is very good also. I tried loads of other remote control tools, but Nomachine just works the best.

   🏁 Competitors: AnyDesk

   👍 Pros:    Fast|Easy setup|High quality even on slow connections|Good updating policy

   👎 Cons:    Some settings have to be made with a text editor

• Remote, secure, high-resolution remote desktop access.

  ThinLinc is free for up to 5 concurrent users (users logged in at same time on same domain) and has a license fee if you need more users. So, you can test it to see if it meets your needs. Here's a sample of what I'm doing (I can even play games (OpenGL) on it, hardware accelerated) - https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/qkrhv6/i_shared_the_better_computer_at_home_with_my/ - and there are other usecases at...

• Any good Linux alternatives to teradici and splashtop remote?

  I was going to recommend ThinLinc https://cendio.com but its server part is also for Linux. You could try TigerVNC (Cendio is one of the TigerVNC's maintainers) and TigerVNC works on windows... There are other VNCs client/server also. MeshCentral is another alternative already suggested :D. Source: over 2 years ago

• Question: Remote Access Solution

  ThinLinc (cendio.com) would help you... It's based on TigerVNC, but by default each user gets its own full desktop session when connecting remotely and can also resume later from somewhere else. Its picture quality and responsivness are great even on lower bandwidth/higher latency connections. Source: over 2 years ago

• Thin Client recommendations

  If you ever want to change your main servers to Linux, there's a software called ThinLinc from Cendio (cendio.com) that can also provide full remote desktop for your thinclients. It's free for up to 5 simultaneously connected users and its licences are sold based on simultaneously connected users, so, maybe it'd be a lot cheaper to have a Linux server machine (free) and pay for a number of simultaneously connected...

• Is there a Linux equivalent of Remote Desktop Services?

  It can be downloaded at cendio.com and it's free for up to 5 simultaneously connected users per domain... Since you mentioned 4 people, you're still good to use it for free with all four people simultaneously connected. If you need to increase the number of simultaneous users, its price is also lower than windows rdp CALs... (and believe me, it works a lot better than RDP!). Source: over 2 years ago

• Using passthrough GPU remotely…

  I use Nomachine and it is free nomachine.com. Source: 8 months ago

• Do you guys use X11 or Wayland for gaming?

  I occasionally use NoMachine to use a GUI to run games on VPSs that don't have a GPU of any kind. NoMachine creates an X11 server on the VPS and I can then access it as a graphical desktop. You can't do that on Wayland. Source: 11 months ago

• Can I use my MacBook Air as a monitor for my pc with a HDMI?

  If you don't mind a slight latency when playing, you can use Parsec, NoMachine or Jump Desktop. Connect to your PC via Ethernet or Thunderbolt to get the lowest possible latency. Source: 12 months ago

• Are you even "supposed" to Remote Desktop to Linux? Linux RDP suggestions?

  We screwed around with various solutions, but I can't say enough great things about nomachine.com. Source: over 1 year ago
