Guacamole is awesome! I highly recommend it. I used Guacamole + a 1st gen Chromebook as my laptop for several years of college work in 2012-2014. Tasks that worked well: - writing code in IntelliJ - editing in Adobe Illustrator - working in the terminal - basic CAD in Sketchup Tasks that I’d wait to do at home on my desktop: - drawing, especially in Photoshop - 3D work in Maya - sound-latency sensitive work like MAX

"a couple" rather than "several" to be clear -- let's not exaggerate how long it's been around!

  Since we're nitpicking: 2012-2014 can potentially be three years. The definition for "several" is relatively flexible since it's an approximate quantity. However what is agreed upon is that it has to be at least more than a couple, which three is. So I'd argue the GP's post is valid as it is.

Great tool indeed. To be honest even web browsing works just fine with it, as long as there is no animations to display. I use it to get around my firewall at work, which seem to block anything apart http/https. If anyone knows a better solution than guacamole, let me know :)

  I run a PC at home with x2go. I use it to surf the web among other things. Images are fine, video will stutter, sound generally works fine. I used it for years with only a 1mb uplink, although I now have 10mb.

    you need a client, but the phython client can be unpacked and used without installing (portable) on windows.

We use Guacamole at work to give our customers access to the internally-hosted web app we're developing for them. I've been kind of amazed that it works as well as it does.
