Including the portable edition of MobaXterm. Though graphics performance is much slower. Especially when rtb is running on a pi. (They'd only need one...)
If using ssh -X then the issue with the Pi is the encryption speed - or lack of it. RTB uses the SDL library and remote X with that essentially copies the entire buffer over for every update )-:
Using vnc is a bit better as there is no encryption involved (that I'm aware of).
