Parsec. Yes it is used predominantly for game streaming but it’s also a low latency remote desktop app.

We are a semi conductor company and we have been using ThinLinc to provide access for Linux Desktops to our engineers and designers and the performance of ThinLinc has been very satisfying so far.

Whenever there’s an article about remote desktop, marketing shills of x2go and thinlinc sprout up like mushrooms.

I would recommend analyzing ThinLinc from Cendio as well. It supports multi-users, has load balancing, supports multiple authentication mechanisms, and allows transferring files from the local machine to the remote one. In their community, there is a performance comparison with x2go and SSH. The person who tested found out that ThinLinc had a better performance in connections with higher latency. It is based on open source but with enterprise capabilities and free for up to 5 users https://community.thinlinc.com/t/my-personal-thinlinc-use-case-and-some-performance-comparison/173

Don’t forget x2go. It’s based on the open source technology behind nomachine, but is a feature-complete, open source remote desktop and remote app client. Like NoMachine, it can talk to and proxy to RDP connections or X11 connections. x2go uses special X11 proxies over SSH to remote graphical applications or desktops. The proxy system eliminates costly round-trip messages that ordinary X forwarding over SSH has. This makes remote X11 sessions and remote X11-based applications as fast as RDP, and can even apply lossy compression, giving you more speed and reduced latency in exchange for some degradation of the graphics. I use x2go to run individual apps as well, not just desktops. Wayland developers tell us no one uses individual app remoting anymore, but I sure use it semi-regularly and I can’t think I’m alone. x2go makes it work well over connections that aren’t fast enough for regular X forwarding with ssh.

Remmina is top of my list

The number one requirement for me for a remote access software is the ability to do file transfers. This should be stated for each of the recommended programs. It’s only mentioned for Teamviewer and NoMachine.

If the article author is listing GTK+ based Remmina, he/she then should list QT based KRDC.
