I still have a dream of a DIY thin client setup for remote development. I've spent a couple of weekends here and there over the past years trying out different servers and clients, but always struggled with anything non-VNC. Either on the server (linux) or client (macOS) side.

What is the state of the art for remote desktoping from linux to macos/windows, over "almost lan" conditions (symmetric 1 Gbit ethernet, < 10 ms rtt)? Enterprise VDI solutions I've used at work has worked better than anything I've managed to put together, especially if you consider stuff like streaming audio from the host...

Nomachine NX has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, it works really well for me. Usually the latency is low enough that I forget I'm on a remote desktop.
