From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's the best way to remote into a linux machine? (lemmy.ml)

Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What's the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine.

I'm a bit of a linux novice, but trying to do more.

I avoid it at all costs as no solution is really seamless, but NoMachine gave me the best (perceived) latency out of VNC, TeamViewer, and a couple others I tried a couple years ago. It's also cross platform, but if the machines are in different networks (behind a NAT), you'll likely need to configure port forwarding manually or via their GUI.

edit: I just remembered I even played youtube videos and the transport fever 2 game via NX (NoMachine) for a few hours and it worked well, while other protocols had either too much of a degraded quality or latency.

How intensive is nomachine? I've used it on decent hardware and it's performance was pretty good. But I'm thinking of setting it up on the raspbery pis at work since VNC is painful to use.

I’ve used it on my pi before I disabled the display manager because I barely used it, but performance was fine. I could log in from my desktop, phone, laptop, another pi, anything really, which was nice to have.
