- pizza234 1mo agoI have three words for you: read the docs. If you're experiencing a bug that pegs you're CPU, fair enough. But RustDesk is video-stream based (in many formats), while TightVNC is image(-region) based. This is actually similar to why you watch movies in, say, H.264 rather than Motion JPEG¹. ¹=similar, not same.

- diego_moita 1mo ago> I have three words for you: read the docs. No, thanks. As they say: "the proof of the pudding is in the eating". So I used both applications and TightVNC is just a lot better, particularly in constrained remote VMs. Docs are cheap, performance is what matters.

- wltr 1mo agoWhy not TigerVNC? https://tigervnc.org/ https://tigervnc.org/ > TigerVNC was originally based on the (never-released) VNC 4 branch of TightVNC. It seems to be popular, that’s why I’m asking.
- diego_moita 1mo agoThanks, I never tried it. Will try. Funny thing is that the document where they'd explain their reasoning to fork TightVNC returns 404.
