I've found, over NoMachine and even RDP, that Parsec is hands down the best solution that I've encountered because of how low-latency it is. It might not support all the input methods/etc. that RDP does (IIUC RDP has good touchscreen support), but Parsec is faster than everything else.

This matches my experience. With a Gigabit Ethernet connection, I find it very difficult to distinguish a desktop streamed via Parsec from a local one. RDP is noticeably laggy in comparison. I would even say that Parsec over a good internet connection (a few 10 MBit, ~10 ms ping) feels more responsive than RDP over LAN.

What I don't like is that Parsec relies on third-party servers for the session initiation, and that streaming Linux desktops is currently not supported. Maybe the open source implementations of Nvidia's GameStream (Moonlight and Sunshine) could be an alternative.

thanks for this input! Parsec looks promising
