Access all your programs, documents and files from anywhere, without having to entrust your data to a cloud service. AnyDesk is the world's most comfortable remote desktop application. TeamViewer lets you establish a connection to any PC or server within just a few seconds. What are some alternatives? When comparing NoMachine and X2Go, you can also consider the following products Not something we have a need for or want. Nomachine is easier to set up for a novice and has Android & IOS apps. Nomachine free allows only one user connection at a time per machine. My wife and I occasionally do this through hotel or cafe' WiFi. Similar to a terminal server, although heavier on resources. X2go also allows multiple users to connect to the server and work in their individual environments simultaneously. Additionally X2go allows for using 'published applications' making it possible to get work done over all but the slowest connections. Youtube videos streamed remotely are a little jerky but watchable so I don't recommend gaming remotely over 4g. After multiple trial and error adjustments X2go is MUCH smoother and comparable to sitting at the physical desktop over ATT 4g-LTE hotspot connections. However, X2go has more granular connection options. Nomachine also uses 128 bit encryption and is prettier and faster as first installed. Nomachine free version doesn't allow SSH connections. Remote access is accomplished using X2go client over SSH (ECDSA-256) with minimal compression through a ZeroTier network.

My experience with X2go is slightly faster and more stable on the Linux Mint Mate' flavor than Ubuntu's 20.04 Mate'. Nomachine works on most desktops, however X2go seems to prefer the XFCE and Mate' environments. The X2go server is running on 3rd generation Intel i-5 processor with onboard Intel graphics and 12 Gb DDR4 RAM. The home office desktop (X2go server) is used primarily for word processing, spreadsheets and creating presentations. We use X2go as access our home office work machine while traveling.
