I use VNC on my phone to view the desktop of my MS Windows XP machine. This means you can use the VNC solution with machines that do not support or run the X Windows system. With VNC, the "desktop" runs on your RPi and you are just viewing that desktop on the remote computer. Or, you can use VNC to do something similar but slightly different. I am pretty sure the "desktop" literally runs on the remote computer, so the remote computer must also support the X Windows system. I think KDE might be using something called Qt now instead of X Window, but essentially you understand the situation correctly.Īnd yes, you can actually use SSH, an encrypted and secure communication protocol, to run a "desktop" for your RPi on another computer. Yes, X Window is the basic underlying system that KDE and GNOME both use to display your "desktop". You want to say i can use GUI via ssh? Sorry but i didn't understand this sentence at all I would suggest X forwarding over SSH instead of your choices. The latter two are not available on the Pi, but I bet EVERY of these protocols has a "viewer" or client appģ. There are other things "like" VNC : (X)RDP, Nomachine NX /FreeNX, TeamViewer, solutions from Citrix. ![]() A Google search will help you to find YOUR personal favorite.Ħ. I would suggest X forwarding over SSH instead of your choices.Ĥ. VNC works a bit like screenshots sent over the Net and is ineffective, slow and not safe.ģ. SSH is the CLI over any network (including the Internet), encrypted and therefore safe. Security: I believe a 15 year old could "overhear" a X window session after some googling.Ģ. In Raspbian the GUI is LXDE running "on top" of X11, in Windows it's the Desktop and the Explorer , The X window system (X11) makes the Graphical User Interface (GUI) work under Linux (simplified explanation). Linux is still more powerful from the CLI in my opinion. The first computers did not have a point-and-click interface.
