- magicalhippo 5y agoLast time I checked, FreeRDP was screen capture-based like VNC, with the associated horrible performance. Has this been improved now?
- easton 5y agoIt seems to have much better performance than VNC for me, so I don't think it's doing the screen capture thing. Or maybe it is and it's just fast regardless. In my experience it feels almost as good as RDP for Windows, which I think is a great achievement.
- magicalhippo 5y agoThanks, guess I'll have to try again then. Last time I tried it was definitely orders of magnitude worse than Windows RDP.

The best you can do in this case is probably waypipe as it does some intelligent compression and buffer management but its a young project.
