But that was over a wired high bandwidth low latency connection. One needed to select 32-but colour to get a better protocol version and turning off double-buffering in some apps (eg emacs) helped.
VNC VIEWER FOR MAC TO LINUX WINDOWS
I’ve had reasonable success with xrdp on the server and a windows client. So this may be part of the reason: fewer people see Remote Desktop as necessary.Ĥ. And for web things you can do set up a socks proxy over ssh which I think can work for a lot of apps which are really just web sites. Text editors can work ok in terminals, especially fancy modern ones with eg mouse support. You can also try mosh to compensate for high latency connections. A lot of the time for Linux the solution is to use ssh and terminal apps as they tend to make smaller updates and require less bandwidth. Very modern apps that use special apis to do lower latency scrolling/resize may be a little better.ģ. Looking at api use from eg X may help with old apps that make small updates but more modern apps (or even modern fonts) which just render to gpu buffers and composite are less amenable to this.
There is some trade off of latency for bandwidth: it may take more time to figure out a small change to send over the network. I think the windows server implementation can take advantage of information about the composition of the screen from windows.ġ. I think it does a bunch of raster things (eg maybe caching floating windows like right-click menus). It has eg commands that correspond to scrolling regions of the screen to save on network use, a framerate limit (25fps I think) and allows some colour space reduction to reduce bandwidth too. RDP is not as simple as sending draw commands.
