3. xpra

   2 54 2,252 9.9 Python

   Persistent remote applications for X11; screen sharing for X11, MacOS and MSWindows.

   

   To add to this if you need to access graphical applications of an entire desktop environment you can use Xpra or MOONLIGHT (I suggest the second one if you want to game on the remote desktop or need very low latency in general), you can use both of these through a ssh tunnel (you need to enable this and X forwarding in the config) so if you setup and allow access to ssh correctly you can also use these without too much of a hassle.
