I'm thinking of using VNC to remotely access a couple of GUI applications running on my home desktop machine. Both my home desktop and the remote client machine are running xubuntu 18.04.
I don't need a full desktop so a simple GUi just giving the ability to run programs is all I need. I *may* sometimes run over slow links so good link efficiency would be helpful. ... and finally it would be nice if it could use ssh for the link.
So what would people recommend, preferably from the Ubuntu repositories for server and client?
I've been using NoMachine recently.

Yes, I've sort of got to a similar place, I'm trying x2go which is basically a branch of nomachine 3 keeping it non-proprietary. It's in the ubuntu repositories and 'just works' having installed the server on one system and the client on another. It suits me well as it just piggy-backs on ssh so I don't have to open any more ports to allow access from outside.
