On Ubuntu I used Remmina client to have a remote desktop of another Ubuntu over ssh tunnel. I did it over local WiFi attached to low-speed DSL and a fiber on the remote end.
It's quite usable graphically even with such channel. Of course, running graphically intense programs or remote video would not be practical, but spreadsheets ok.
- jeroenhd 4y agoThe RDP protocol should be pretty good even for running video as it can switch to a simple MP4 stream on the fly, at least in Microsoft clients and servers. I don't know if the open source implementations have that capability, though. I wouldn't expect too much from a DSL link but at a low render resolution (<720p) even video should be doable with the right tweaks. Quality won't be great, but those stupid video ads shouldn't lag out a browser session for example. If xrdp or equivalent don't support those extensions, I see an opportunity for distro makers there. Linux distributions (and others) have been reliant on VNC for way too long in my opinion and the only somewhat supported alternatives with more than one implementation aren't exactly built for this purpose, sadly.
