I was using (well trying to use) FreeRDP/XRDP for a while to work with my multiple Linux machines from the Windows client. Soon I've discovered that it was not XRDP working for me but the other way around. I replaced it with NoMachine and and never looked back since.

Now I am somewhat curious but frankly from a practical standpoint I have very little motivation to stop doing what I am doing just to check this new one. It will disrupt my routine for the sake of completely unknown outcome which in the best case will let me have what I already have now. And in the worst case - the opposite of sky is the limit.

This is not to discourage developers but just to show what missed opportunity might cost should there be more people like myself.



Same, Nomachine has a GUI, and importantly discovery of clients on the network.

The performance is a lot better than VNC.

In theory I could setup VirtualGL and TigerVNC, but it seems like a lot of work, and time I just don't have.

Other clients could do well to see how easy NoMachine makes things.
