Since the 2.0 beta, TightVNC supports auto scaling, which resizes the viewer window to the remote users desktop size, regardless of the resolution of the host computer. [citation needed] TightVNC 1.3.10, released in March 2009, is the last version to support Linux/Unix. [8] This version is still often used in guides to set up VNC for Linux. [9 ...
TigerVNC is an open source Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server and client software, started as a fork of TightVNC in 2009. [2] The client supports Windows, Linux and macOS. The server supports Linux. There is no server for macOS [3] and as of release 1.11.0 the Windows server is no longer maintained. [4]
X2Go gives remote access to a Linux system's graphical user interface. It can also be used to access Windows systems through a proxy. [8] Client packages can be run on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS or Windows. [9] Some Linux desktop environments require workarounds for compatibility, while some such as GNOME 3.12 and later may have no workarounds.

GNOME Boxes was initially introduced as beta software in GNOME 3.3 (development branch for 3.4) as of Dec 2011, [5] and as a preview release in GNOME 3.4. [6] Its primary functions were as a virtual machine manager, remote desktop client (over VNC), and remote filesystem browser, utilizing the libvirt, libvirt-glib, and libosinfo technologies. [7]
The initial versions of the XRDP project relied on a local VNC server installation that had to be present alongside the program, in order to relay the graphics and controls between the user and the server [7] (known as the "VNC forwarding mode"). However, this mode is currently not recommended to use anymore, due to its slow performance.
