Remote access recommendations (aussie.zone)

Hi Friendos,

I am looking for recommendations for remote access software to access my server and see its GUI. The server is running Ubuntu 23.04 with KDE Plasma. I chose 23.04 as I have an Intel ARC card in there.

The machine that will be accessing runs Arch Linux with KDE Plasma and an nvidia 4080.

I have tried VNC but can't stand the latency, and up until now have been using NoMachine but for some reason I am getting some quirk where the mouse will get stuck in a left click state and my only way to get out of it is to reboot the machine (not ideal for a server).

Any recommendations on what to use, or how to fix my problem would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'm happy with Lan only options too, as that is where I do 90% of the management from

VLC late shouldn't matter for a server, but if you want to remotely drive a desktop I've had great experience with moonlight. There is a open source build for Linux called sunlight. https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine

You will need a GPU to encode the stream. It's mostly focused on gaming but works well for desktops.

    GUI what's that? SSH. But seriously, still SSH. You can tunnel anything you like over SSH, including X. Just use the -Y flag and any X capable client you start will display on your local server.
