Time ago i was very happy with x2go to connect several users, simultaneously, to a KDE session server.
Since KDE became plasma5 x2go give up running. I read "problems with libraries".
Actually there is no alternative like this.
May we expect x2go is going to run with plasma5 in the future?
Thanks in advanced

As far as I know, KDE 5 won't run because it requires GLX 1.3, which our current NX-libraries do not support.
In the meantime, you can run KDE 4 or TRINITY, the KDE 3 fork.
Getting the NX-libraries updated is a task that is actively being worked on - maybe Mike#1 or Ulrich can chime in on when they expect to be able to support GLX 1.3?

Ulrich just replied to me off-list - I'm assuming by accident, as it was sent from his smartphone. His statement was that you shouldn't expect GLX 1.3 support in the NX-libraries in the near future. :-(

Well, we do have a workaround for GLX support. http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/wiki:development:glx-xlib-workaround?s[]=glx
But:
It requires putting the environment variable in a /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ script . These scripts get launched before the desktop environment is started. This is very easy shell scripting. Note that non-debian-derived distros often use other paths. Fedora/RHEL-derived distros use /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ .
The build instructions likely vary from distro to distro, and release to release.
I have not tested it with entire desktop environments. GNOME3 may have a check that will prevent it from working, even if it is otherwise capable of working.

To be more precise: The coming 3.6 release of nx-libs will still have GLX 1.2. The 3.7 release is planned to offer some newer version (1.5 IIRC), but as the 3.6 release is still pending work on 3.7 has not even really started.

In the meantime, you can run KDE 4 or TRINITY, the KDE 3 fork.
Another possible workaround is to run a single application rather than an entire KDE5 session. Some KDE5 applications run fine over x2go, or with relatively minor glitches (such as slow repainting, or icons being replaced with text labels). Depending on your use cases, you may be able to live with these issues.
Konsole in KDE5 is too slow for me over x2go, but most other terminal emulators work fine. I have x2go set to run xfce4-terminal, and from there I remotely launch whatever KDE and non-KDE applications I need.
