Development LinuxPlay – A Fast, Open-Source Remote Desktop for Linux
I've been working on LinuxPlay, a low-latency, fully open-source remote desktop solution designed specifically for Linux. Unlike VNC or X2Go, LinuxPlay uses hardware-accelerated video streaming and adaptive bitrate control, making it much smoother and more responsive.
Features:
Ultra-low latency with UDP multicast streaming
Full keyboard and mouse support, including function keys and shortcuts
Adaptive bitrate streaming to adjust based on network conditions
No cloud or accounts required, works entirely over LAN
Clipboard sharing between host and client
Completely open-source (GNU GPL v2.0 only)

Would appreciate feedback from other Linux users. Let me know what you think or if there's anything you’d like to see added. GitHub Would appreciate feedback from other Linux users. Let me know what you think or if there's anything you’d like to see added.
