If I understood correctly, it actually requires some kind of GUI already installed on machine to which you are connecting. And this software itself doesn't convert/install into GUI like xrdp?
Yes it needs a desktop environment installed. I have used KDE Plasma with nomachine and it works fine out of the box.
Then this software is completely useless. I installed xrdp and it was very slow and buggy. I found a thread here where people were all praise about NoMachine so I thought to give it a try but it is of no use.
what? No. Even xrdp works the same way. It's the protocol and software differences. Nomachine is much better than xrdp.
But NoMachine require some sort of GUI like xrdp already present. I installed xrdp and just used Remote Desktop Connection on Windows to connect and it worked.
Both nomachine and xrdp requires a desktop environment (DE). Without a DE none is going to work. Maybe a DE was already installed on the VPS which is why xrdp worked (albeit with poor performance). Nomachine may not be compatible with that specific DE, hence it doesn't work.
Yeah, you are right. I just checked my text file where I have saved command which I use to install, and it actually uses
xfce4. Here's full command:sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xorg dbus-x11 x11-xserver-utilsSo, I installed xfce4 and then used NoMachine and it is much faster than xrdp. There is minimal to no lag.
