VNC should work just fine, because it's a common graphical remote desktop protocol, but its performance doesn't feel snappy. But that also seems like a good option for some desktop work. my studio is on the first and my grande game PC is in the living on the floor below connected to the TV. So you'd have to login over another service like NoMachine or Moonlight to dismiss that prompt. And after a while the Google app asks if you still want the connection to interact with your computer.

Only nag with Google Remote is that you'd have to go back and forth between server and client, to get it working with a given code and confirm access on the server side. Partly I used Google Remote Desktop in combination with NoMachine, because RDP in Remmina on Windows messed up - separate login sessions not closing etc.

X2Go was a no-go albeit it also being a NX server like NoMachine. So instead to remote in to the Windows PC from my Steam Deck I use Remmina with the RDP protocol for desktop work (also very fast to interact with, but compression artifacts on remote video's) and for playing custom games Sunshine (server app on Windows) and Moonlight (NVIDIA Stream client derivative). Maybe it's because the Linux version is 7.10.1 and the Windows one is 7.10.2 or maybe the 32-bit version for the Deck is working better. You do first need set the file system on the Deck in writable mode, so check if your comfortable with that.Ĭurrently it is running fine when I'm remoting into the Deck from my Windows 10 PC, but the other way around (remoting into WinPC from Deck) gives me artifacts (blackouts) that makes it unusable. For Deck you can download the Linux 64-bit version tar.gz file and follow the instructions on. Download is one package that contains server and client. Fastest that I know of and for all PC platforms.

Arch linux install nomachine
