Recently, chrome remote desktop has become increasingly laggy, and reliability of other software such as Splashtop and Parsec has been mediocre at best. Does anybody know of a better one that has hardware decoding and GPU Acceleration?

Desktop:

Intel Core i5 7600K @ 3.7GHz, 8GB x 2 GSkill Ripjaws, Gigabyte Gaming B8 Motherboard, 256GB Samsung 960 Pro PCIe NVMe SSD, 1.27 TB of Spanned Goodness, GTX 1050 Ti, and GT 710. Runs both macOS High Sierra and Windows 10, and Pop! OS 20.04 LTS.

 

Laptop:

Lenovo X1 Carbon 2nd Gen

 

 

Server:

7TB Array in Proxmox server

Intel Pentium G4560 @ 3.5GHz

16GB DDR4 

ASUS H270M Motherboard

1GB Zotac NVIDIA GT 710

Their is a bunch of them around, but I recommend using the OS rendition of remote management.  If you can't or don't know how to then there is a few to choose from.  I recommend this.

 I highly recommend team viewer  it’s forever free so long you use it for personal use and not business 

There is no enemy. The foe on the battlefield is merely the manifestation of that which we must overcome. The doubt, and fear, and despair. Every battle is fought within. Conquer the battlefield that lies inside you, and the enemy disappears like the illusion it is.

I don't believe chrome remote has GPU acceleration, just the browser itself.. Outside of h264 and similar, you're not going to playback a VLC movie over chrome desktop very well..

 

That said your options are fairly limited. VPN + RDP is a solid choice, one I use. 

 

Another one, which works over https is Apache Guacamole: https://guacamole.apache.org/

What host OS is this for?
