I just built a new computer and freshly installed Arch on it. I also have a low-end laptop running Arch.
What I want to do is setup a thin client and use the desktop computer via my laptop for work/browsing/general use. Full screen on the laptop with full access to everything on the new desktop computer. Something like VNC, but I don't think VNC is a good solution for this.
Both computers are connected via wireless AC on the local network.
I tried x2go, but I was disappointed to find out that it's incompatible with Gnome3, my preferred DE. I tried using it with MATE and various settings, but the image always seems to come out pixelated or slow.
Is there another solution here that I should look into for perfect/realtime remote desktop between 2 Arch systems?

Thin client most likely means that it PXE boots from the network. Then you can after booting ssh in or use sshfs to get access to your files and run things on the laptop with no permanent installation on the laptop. xpra-winswitch is a good alternative for setting just the applications you want forwarded over ssh to another machine.
I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.
