It was only introduced when we were fighting with small RAM systems (remember when 32MB was absolutely awesome?!!) and programs that were bigger than that. The swap file was "virtual memory" and, as the name suggests, memory blocks were swapped in and out of RAM as needed. It is for this very reason that you should avoid using a swap file with SSDs. You will wear out an SSD a lot faster with a swap file. |

The OS pops up a message my system is low on memory, you must close 'Teamviewer'. This happens about every hour or so, yet when the message pops up, I'm only using around 6GB of 16GB. How is this possible, I haven't even used 50% of my ram. When I turn on the swapfile, almost no problem, but, my system begins to use the swapfile at an enormous rate for no reason. It slows down my Quartus compiling and some web viewing when I have a lot of tabs open. Without the Teamviewer open with access to another desktop, no problems, no speed penalty. I think VNC was the best for compact with full background support and speed. I only need LAN support. It's too bad I cannot find my old version 4.x installs which didn't require any license. |

If you just want great performance over LAN, maybe look into a cheap MJPEG hardware encoded solution? https://pikvm.org/ https://mtlynch.io/tinypilot/ I wonder if there are any open source remote desktop software that leverage the h.264 or h.265 encoder built into modern GPUs. |

People I know and I have used Chrome Remote Desktop to good effect. Simple, fast and it works. (I suspect some people here will dislike it because Google) https://remotedesktop.google.com/ |

I'm using RealVNC in my local network to connect from a laptop to my desktop (basically sitting in bad with laptop on my belly doing stuff on my desktop in another room) Not using the latest version, I think I'm using the version that was made before they made the bundle "vnc connect" That version had a freeware mode which disabled encryption but otherwise worked fine, but if you know where to search (cough cough torrents) you could find license keys / patches to disable online license check and enable everything. It's much more polished and smooth than TightVNC, I've also used TightVNC in the past, this one's open source, free, with a pay version that adds some acceleration, better video driver, and I think better encryption but i'm not sure ... it works fine. |
