Yes, x2goserver needs to be installed on the remote system. But I do believe you need something installed on the remote system to listen for nx/vnc requests anyway. I switched to x2goserver/x2goclient maybe two years ago from xvnc/tigervnc as it was getting to be a real chore to install again xorg-x11 at the time. It has some benefits, one of them being it spawns a new session when you log in, like Terminal Server/Remote Desktop Services on Windows - meaning you don't attach to an existing user that's logged on. It also has some downsides. As in not all desktops are fully supported. I had to switch to MATE on the server for reliability issues. KDE5 is not supported, as an example. They do support other desktops besides MATE, it's just the one I stuck with. It does, however, feel back-asswards compared to KDE, as a primarily KDE-user. Dan
