Best Configuration For Remote Desktop on Linux

Hi All,

Hopefully it's not just me but has anyone had a successful configuration and care to share it for a fast Remote Desktop experience with linux? It just seems laggy even on local networks.

    I find VNC to be laggy not smooth not like Remote Desktop. Is there some configuration file I need to change to make this faster?

  • DataIdeas-JoshDataIdeas-Josh Member, Patron Provider

    What VNC software you using?
    You say too laggy as in? Trying to watch video from it?

    NoMachine.
    Even watching YouTube video is smooth.

    Install x2goserver on the machine, and x2goclient where you want to view it. Uses SSH.

    Set the profile to a low color depth like 256-jpeg and try the connection speed slider adjustment.

    Thinlinc used to work pretty well last time I tried it, used to be 10 concurrent users for free but they dropped it to 5.

    I believe it's based around a modified tigervnc but whatever they've done to it seems to make it work a lot better than straight vnc ever did for me.

    nomachine or x2go. I use X2go.
    Chrome remote desktop I use in case of dynamic IPs when i am lazy to setup some freedns.afraid.org solution. It can't compare with X2go but works because I hate teamviewer and use it only when the other side is really inept at setting up chrome remote desktop or it is a one time thing.

    I find that xrdp works really well, far superior to vnc

  • DamoHGDamoHG Member, Patron Provider

    Tested a few xrdp for the RDP and xfce for the UI.

    sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xorg dbus-x11 x11-xserver-utils -y

sudo apt install xrdp -y

sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert 
sudo systemctl restart xrdp

    Yeah, I’ve been using this for a while now and I’m impressed. I can play fullhd YouTube with ~ 50 FPS, multiple screens work without any issues. Using awesome WM btw.

    xrdp yyds

    Apache Guacamole is an awesome web gateway for connecting to your desktops also
