TurboVNC is a high-performance VNC implementation derived from TightVNC. It provides both VNC server and VNC viewer functionalities. According to the official site, it is better than TigerVNC in multiple aspects [1].

## Installation

Install the turbovncAUR package.

## Running vncserver

Simply runing `vncserver` as the normal user that will later use VNC, and you will be prompted to set a password. Then configure which desktop environment to use in `/usr/bin/xstartup.turbovnc`. For example, edit the file below as root to use KDE plasma:

    /usr/bin/xstartup.turbovnc

    exec startplasma-x11

You can also use any different file than `/usr/bin/xstartup.turbovnc` with the `-xstartup FILE` option of `vncserver` to avoid modifying the script provided by the package. Then run `vncserver` again to start it, you should see it binds to the port 5901. You should always wrap it in a SSH tunnel as what is done with any other VNC software(see TigerVNC#Accessing vncserver via SSH tunnels).
