Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and hoping to get some advice. I work at a university where we have several servers running different versions of RHEL and Rocky Linux. Recently, I've been informed that they are discontinuing support for NoMachine, probably due to cost. I'm looking for good remote desktop software that doesn't rely on ssh -X, as we're mainly using GUI applications for medical imaging which run slow over that. Ideally, I'd like something that doesn't require users to start a VNC systemd service since most of them lack sudo access. I've considered RustDesk but I'm not certain it's the best choice. I've seen mentions of xrdp but haven't tested it yet. Any recommendations or solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

TightVNC is another choice you could look at. Do you know if it functions similarly to TigerVNC? I’m curious if users can initiate their sessions by SSH-ing into the server and using commands like `vncserver -geometry 1920x1080 -depth :24 :1-99`, or if it requires a configuration file setup like `/etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users` to use systemd for starting sessions.
I’ve had decent experiences with spice and virt-viewer. They work well for remote access, so it might be another option to explore!
I’ve used xrdp before, and I found it pretty handy! You can connect to it just like you would with any Windows machine using RDP. Additionally, you might want to check out Guacamole; it supports various remote desktop and VNC protocols. Could be a solid option for your setup!
