Hmm, fwiw I think all my boxes with NoMachine have GPUs as well, that may make a difference in the quality for encoding/decoding.

If I go full screen it's hard for me to distinguish local vs remote, even watching videos, other than occasionally can see video compression artifacts per the connection quality.

Do like that I can blank screen on login, lock screen on logout, similar to RDP, unlike xrdp and others where it's a new session when you connect, you can't resume a session locally (e.g. work half in office, half at home, same session).

Hmm, guess I'll have to try again. When I tried last time, a year ago or so now, the speed was comparable to VNC. The machine I tried accessing then was a i5 NUC which when used locally with KDE Neon is rather spiffy.

Resuming locally is also a must-have feature, so yeah that eliminates a lot of contenders on Linux.
