   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.

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

• 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: over 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: over 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

• Using passthrough GPU remotely…

  I use Nomachine and it is free nomachine.com. Source: 9 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: about 1 year 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: about 1 year 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
