Description
FreeRDP is good enough for office tasks and potentially light games. But to have even lower latency a "KVMFrameRelay" such as looking glass may be implemented to minimise latency and allow for direct quality. Looking Glass is a way to do this but there seem to limitation such as requiring an nvidia gpu, being same device only and sharing memory between host and guest.
