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

So the traditional answer here is to abandon the GUI and use SSH. It's fast, lightweight, and works in basically any configuration.

If that's not an option and you're not averse to commercial, closed-source software then TeamViewer and Parsec are both pretty good remote tools.

If you also need it to be open source, I have heard good things about Rustdesk but I have never used it myself.

Parsec would be my go to, but they're missing Linux host support from memory, only able to use client
