💖 x2goagent — the manual page, bestie edition 💖

okay so you found yourself in the x2goagent(1) section of the General Commands Manual and honestly? you're about to have a great time. buckle up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

x2goagent — it's the X2Go Agent, no cap. that's the whole name. short, sweet, iconic 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

x2goagent [options]

that's it. that's the vibe. you hand it options and it does its thing 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: x2goagent is a wrapper around nxagent. it's not out here doing everything alone — it's the main character with a supporting cast, and the supporting cast is nxagent. 🫶

and the nxagent Xserver? it's an Xnest-like X server built for remote application and desktop access. basically it lets you reach out and touch applications that live somewhere else entirely. long-distance relationship but make it X11 💞

now, x2goagent implements a very efficient compression of the X11 protocol. and the way that matters?? it increases performance when you're running X applications over high latency and low bandwidth networks. so even when your connection is giving struggle era 😭 you still get a local, LAN-like usage experience — even if you're connecting from off-site locations, like via cable modem or GSM. slay ✨

💀 lowkey important: x2goagent is not designed to be used as a standalone application. do not just run it by itself like a lil guy with no context. it has to be launched on the server side by the X2Go server software. periodt.

and for the clients available? you've got:

  • x2goclient
  • pyhoca-gui
  • pyhoca-gui (this one using the Python X2Go API)

yes bestie, pyhoca-gui shows up twice in the original. that's just how it is. we don't edit the canon 📖💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -help — lists all the other options that are not listed here. so if you're looking for the full menu, this is your girl 🎀
