About 12 years ago I deployed Windows Terminal Server in a corporate environment, and used PXE boot on the client computers to start a basic Linux distro that then launched the 2X client to access TS. Right now I'm creating a reference document for a VDI deployment using VMware/Citrix/TS. I've briefly looked at the NoMachine client by installing it to a Win10 computer, and the performance of NoMachine is worse than RDP to the same computer over the same link. Since you're happy with NoMahchine do you know of any optimization techniques for it?

Hmm - I haven't really administered Nomachine myself (we have an enterprise installation on one of the clusters at work), so I can't really help you there unfortunately, but only to say that it doesn't often crash or hang for me, and the delay is quite low enough over wan that using the GUI / mouse works almost perfectly, both on OSX and windows.

RDP is pretty darn fast (at least when I last used it ~10y ago)
I think the attraction to NX for linux users is that it is still way better than VNC.. and both of which are pretty much the only consistently functioning / packaged server options for most distros without fiddling..
