I had to say no to one of my users who asked to install nomachine for him. We are university, i.e., not individual (aka home) users. But xpra sounds better than what I told my user to use (vncserver, vncviewer over ssh).

I haven't kept it up to date, especially the xpra part, but it does give a quick start. http://srobb.net/nxreplace.html (It was written around CentOS 6.x time). I still use x2goclient on a FreeBSD workstation to get to a CentOS-8.x server. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
I used nomachine, but besides not being free it had a limit on the maximum number of sessions that could be opened at the same time. The server must be used (for non-commercial purposes) by several users.
