Nomachine review2/2/2024 Unfortunately most of the time spent figuring shit out was debugging wayland + gnome issues. Last learning: wayland is a piece of shit and should be banned from the earth. I don’t think RDP was designed for 3d work but the east of end user experience and how much “it just works” is amazing. Still not sure about NoMachine Check out alternatives and read real reviews from real users. The RDP implementation for Linux also has the huge advantage of being extremely well documented and easy to setup (5 minutes or so ). comparisons to other Remote Desktop products and more. MIT does pay for education license so that weighs in favor but honestly I’d shell out like 300 bucks a year personally for it. It also took me an hour to setup and given the html access to the desktop and how easy they make it for you to manage everything it’s honestly a no brainer. 100% no go for me even for slow paced remote text editing on wired lab (how I tested )ģ) fastx was wicked fast and honestly comparable to the ultra expensive nice dcv that Amazon uses for their remote workstations and all their got cloud envs. Also took 4 hours to setup and basically they’re only compatible with a couple desktop envs (see their wiki). It is reasonably fast for productivity but I’m not sure it’s designed for 3d workĢ) x2g has the worst latency artifacting of them all. NoMachine would be a great way to do that over LAN, allowing you to have all your tools on your machine, without having to drag the computer around with you.I just tested fastx along with x2g and NoMachineġ) no machine is wicked easy to setup. If you’re the resident Geek, you’ll likely need to give your family members help with their computers. ![]() The limitation being if it’s a hardware issue, however, it’s much more cost effective for both parties involved if you can debug software vs hardware remotely, and then form a plan of action for the next steps. Being a small MSP myself, I can use NoMachine to connect to a few managed customers computers, and debug their issue without needing them to come down my office or me traveling there. ![]() ![]() MSPs and IT Support are similar, but their use cases may vary. The User also can see every action that’s occurring at their desk, and it helps provide transparency to users ensuring their problem is fixed. NoMachine would add value to supporting remote machines, the simplicity and always-available service allows the IT Administrator to connect, debug, and exit. Here’s a few use cases I can see NoMachine being practical in, aside homelabs: IT Support (Small-Medium Sized Business) For me, in my lab is perfect, as I have a variety of machines (CentOS, Debian, Windows 10, Windows Server, etc) that I need to connect remotely into, and NoMachine lets me run their service and forget about it, and I can easily access it on all my devices without having to fiddle with display settings, proxying, etc. ![]() It’s enough for me that I’m going to be ditching TeamViewer in my lab environment and remote debugging customer machines, and use NoMachine with some ssh tunnels to avoid exposing it to the internet entirely. I found this to be very stable, compared to RDP or VNC, you have the same access, NoMachine prompts you for authentication on the local machine before you can login, it’s process is well documented for the user and the administrator. This is consistent on 1920x1080p screens.ĭesktop Application is required if you want to connect: In the future, it would be great if it had some compatible web-client, which would free up space on my machine if I primarily want to host, but occasionally want to connect to others. Consįont Rendering: The fonts appear a bit pixelated when scaling to 1920×1080, but seem to resolve themselves when you scale higher, or lower (eg 800×600), I’ve tried with three different monitors all 1920×1080, and one 4K monitor. This is also configurable, which makes it even better!Īccess VNC Desktops! I found out this morning that if you have a vnc server running and a desktop open (even if you’re not connected via VNC), when opening NoMachine, it’ll show you available desktops (0 or 1 or desktops), I selected 1, and it brought me to the VNC session Desktop, so now I’m controlling my regular desktops plus the VNC session without having to open VNC anymore. Latency? What latency! Generally, you don’t notice much if any latency when using NoMachine, just like you’d expect from Remote Desktop Protocol, VNC, and even TeamViewer.įull Control! I can fully control this machine, execute any commands I’d like without having to worry about getting the logged in user to approve my actions. So far it’s been a successful test on my local machine, and I can easily connect to remote machines. I’ve been experimenting with NoMachine since yesterday to see how it holds it.
