The problem is that every remote desktop solution I have tried works quite slow and laggy. It does not feel as if you are sitting in front of your computer at all. Has anybody experienced the opposite? (I haven't tried this iceberg.io, so maybe theirs works ok) And it seems it does not really make sense to render all the graphics in the backend machine and got them sent over the Internet.

I can't speak to the second part of your post, but I definitely agree with the first part. That is, in my experience, I have found remote desktops to be somewhat sluggish/poor quality gfx. I assume these are trade-offs for connecting to a machine via a network/internet.

Did you try this one? I'd be keen to get your feedback.

I had the same initial reaction, however I did sign up for the free plan with a great deal of skepticism. The performance was actually quite impressive, all things considered. Since I already have a significant amount of virtual and dedicated infrastructure at my disposal, and I live most of my life on the command line, I don't have much of a use for it. That said, it does seem like a very neat concept, and if I had more options for distributions and desktop environments, I'd consider renting one if only as a test machine for the rare graphical software I do run.
