A good VNC client should give you responsiveness on par of RDP. VNC tunnel through web socket to a client running in a browser window may push it to the annoying zone though.

What’s a good vnc client and server that actually pulls this off? I’ve never had any luck with it either. At least not on Ubuntu.

  It's a little specialist, and doesn't have Linux server/host functionality (and IIRC Mac is still in beta), but if you want to remotely connect to a Windows 10+ computer - Parsec works really well. I've used it at work to share access to a beefy desktop for running CAD (SolidWorks) and multimedia (mostly Adobe Premiere Pro/CC) software, without having to be at the computer - we use it from the local network, and from across the country, with fairly satisfying performance.

  If it is from linux to linux, I'll use xpra https://xpra.org/ https://xpra.org/

    from the abcdesktopio github repository tigervnc this project uses TigerVNC release 1.12.0 it starts the command Xvnc and then websockify python to convert TCP socket as WebSocket

VNC can have good performance over gig LAN using raw encoding. The issues occur when you add compression (hextile, tight, etc.) which does a good job cutting bandwidth but adds a ton of latency, which is the main reason your sessions feels slow. RDP does a great job of keeping the latency down. Note that I have never had a good experience using noVNC (the web-based solution used by this service) even over fast LAN - I think it's because of the additional overhead of the web browser. I personally use SPICE for VDI which performs decently over LAN, but is not as good as RDP over WAN with constrained bandwidth.
