The author even mentions in the article "No machine"
Which I think is pretty funny. I haven't used it or set it up. I suppose I should try it.
NoMachine is the company that makes the NX protocol. That's all. X2Go is the free implementation of NX/NoMachine that we all use.
Well the freely available NoMachine is more like a team viewer replacement. You only have the single shared session. It also has remote support tools like chat and a whiteboard.
When did that change? I used to use that and it was like X2Go.
I think a while ago. If you want their terminal server version you have to pay for it.
They also have a web based version, but it's also only the paid version.
The second picture reminds me of Apple OS X by a lot.
Yeah, the floating middle menu bar has been copied a lot. I'm not sure if the overall design started with OSX or KDE. KDE definitely had it a really long time ago. The super sized icons, though, is definitely all OSX.
@travisdh1 I agree, not very impressed that Mint included this but did not test it or respond to people with issues. Better to not have it in there.
Do you have the Cinnamon or Mate Desktop? It would make sense that you couldn't run a Gnome application without running in a Gnome environment. Although I could be mistaken.
Just because you run a different GUI doesn't mean you can't run apps meant for a different one. KDE and GNOME apps normally run just fine in the other type of desktop assuming all dependencies are met.
Cinnamon is Gnome 3, though.
Hrm, just gets worse and worse.
Yeah, I'd expect @StrongBad to have good luck here. I see the same thing, doesn't run.
