As I stated. I've found Turbo VNC seems to work very well. At my home, I've got a notebook, and use it to vnc into 6 other Fedora 39 machines, and two windows machines in house. Also, vnc into remote machines in mom's house in Nevada. Windows machines all with the tigervnc since Turbo is link only for server. Does have a windows viewer.
Right non at Mom's in Nevada from Guam. Brought 2 notebooks, and now local vnc into her machines, and can vnc back to my machines in Guam with no issues. Think Tigervnc was still able to work with up to Fedora 38, but 39 had it stop working even with the xfce. So moved everything to the Turbovnc with linux. Author has responded to quiestions, so seems active. Am also other the Tigervnc list, and TurboVNC also is on it. So, good luck and hope you find a solution that will meet your needs. Note. I did uninstall most of tigervnc packages. Only left these rpm -qa | grep tiger libtiger-0.3.4-26.fc39.x86_64 tigervnc-license-1.13.1-11.fc39.noarch tigervnc-server-minimal-1.13.1-11.fc39.x86_64 Since if try to remove them, it comes up with all kinds of other packages that it wants to remove. Not sure if libtiger is even linked to tigervnc, but it shows up. turbovnc-3.1.1-20240127.x86_64 is the turbovnc package.
