TigerVNC is a VNC server and client started in 2009, started as a fork of TightVNC.
Red Hat, Cendio AB and TurboVNC maintainer started this fork because RealVNC was focusing on their enterprise non-open VNC and there had been no update since 2006.[1] This implementation is fully open, with development and discussion done via publicly accessible mailing lists and repositories.
TigerVNC is focused on performance and remote display functionality.[2] It was made the default VNC implementation in Fedora shortly after its creation.[3]
