TurboVNC

About

TurboVNC is a VNC implementation brought to you by The VirtualGL Project. The project's website describes it as enterprise-quality, high-performance software that is provided free of charge and in a vendor-neutral manner. It is designed to work alongside VirtualGL, which adds hardware-accelerated OpenGL to TurboVNC, and it uses libjpeg-turbo, a SIMD-accelerated JPEG codec, for image compression.

The website offers downloads of official binaries and source tarballs, as well as YUM and APT repositories for installation. Documentation covers supported operating systems, window manager compatibility, use with the UltraVNC Server and UltraVNC Repeater, application isolation, and time-based one-time passwords (TOTP). The site also links to a report on the usefulness of H.264 encoding in a VNC environment, along with mailing lists, discussion forums, and a project page for code and issue tracking.

The project is funded through GitHub sponsorship and PayPal donations, and it also accepts funding for specific features. The website notes that official releases moved to GitHub and packagecloud in December 2023. The site's content is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5.
