Guys,
So what's the best linux distro to run x2go on these days, in terms of the server, the system you connect to? Which would people recommend?
RHEL 7.x is out, as are probably a bunch of the newer Gnome 3 desktops. Does anything running MATE work well? Running Debian 9.3 with lxde seems to work pretty well, using client 4.1.1.1 to connect.
But at my $WORK, where we're mostly RHEL/CentOS based, it looks like sticking with CentOS 6.9 is the best solution currently. Which kinda stinks. Does Fedora work better or at least just as well when running the Mate desktop?

I use OpenSUSE Leap and it works great with KDE or XFCE.

I can't comment on Fedora, but I know that with Ubuntu being Gnome 3-based by default too, XFCE seems to work a bit better than other stripped down DEs; that is, when other parts of the distro assume Gnome (or are only tested on Gnome), fewer things seem to break under XFCE. Having said that, I've used it for so long as a server DE my opinion on this could be out of date.

I've found MxLinux to be excellent in this regard. I have gnome, mate,kde, lxde, xcfe, openbox, and icewm ALL working via x2go on this platform.

Running X2Go with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS + MATE (1.12 in the base repo, tested 1.16 thanks to the MATE DEV ppa and working great too).
I'm pretty happy with this setup.
I also tried Ubuntu 16.04 + XFCE (4.12 from base repo) and working great too.
