Traditional VNC works by sending "raw bitmaps" of the screen. Chrome Remote Desktop uses a more sophisticated protocol (likely derived from WebRTC) that sends rendering instructions rather than just images. This makes CRD significantly faster over Wide Area Networks (WANs), often feeling "nearly native" while VNC stutters. By applying the "extra quality" tweaks above, you close the gap with proprietary solutions like Parsec or Moonlight, but without the complex port forwarding.

Uses the NX protocol. It is vastly superior to standard VNC/RDP for streaming high-quality audio and video on Linux.
