- warner_of_doom 5y agoFunny. NoMachine is exactly what I use right now. Decent functionality. Reputable company. Etc. But, RDP's bandwidth efficiency on Windows is unbeatable AFAIK. I wish the Linux and macOS world had something like that.
- aeries 5y agoThe best alternative I've found for macOS is Jump Desktop's Fluid protocol.

- Khaine 5y agoHow does Jump Desktop Connect[0] compare? I hear really good things about it on macOS [0] https://jumpdesktop.com/connect https://jumpdesktop.com/connect
- aeries 5y agoJump Desktop’s Fluid protocol is shockingly good- by far the best remote desktop solution I’ve ever found for macOS.
- warner_of_doom 5y agoCan it be run independently OR does it depend on Jump Desktop's servers as a connection mediator?
- aeries 5y agoYou're probably aware of this, but once the connection has been mediated via the cloud, data will usually flow directly between client and server. But yes, to avoid this initial connection mediation, you'll need the "Cloudless Fluid Connections" from the Enterprise team plan[0]. I use the basic $35 single user macOS program which requires cloud mediation. I don't like the forced cloud mediation either, but the protocol is just so much better, almost comically better, than NoMachine, RDP-over-macOS, VNC, X11-forwarding, Screen Sharing.app, etc. [0] https://app.jumpdesktop.com/pricing https://app.jumpdesktop.com/pricing
- warner_of_doom 5y agoThanks for this info. I wish they did offer Cloudless in their regular version.
