The core of NoMachine rests on its proprietary NX protocol, a highly optimized transport layer originally derived from DXPC (Differential X Protocol Compressor) but entirely rewritten to handle high-bandwidth multimedia delivery.

Hm. I used to use the client on Linux, with the server on MacOS. It would blank the Mac's display correctly. I didn't use it the other way, so I don't know if it worked that way in my config.
Which desktop are you running on the Linux machine? This support post indicates screen blanking won't work for KDE, because it lacks support for blanking in its D-Bus implementation:

There's also this KB article:
https://kb.nomachine.com/AR07M00851
Which seems to imply that the method they use to implement blanking is playing games with gamma adjustment - a hack. Maybe that's a permissions thing, the application isn't allowed to adjust gamma with your Linux desktop - or gamma adjustment isn't supported.

DroppieFedora Kinoite, in prior months when i was setting it up, ALL attempts to be able to connect to Dad's pc with either AnyDesk or RustDesk, via either Flatpaks & overlaid rpm pkgs, failed. Hence, now in Tower's KDELinux i've not even bothered with those two flatpaks, not to mention that this atomic does not have a(n easy) way to overlay. Happily i found recently that AppImage works well for VeraCrypt in KDELinux, so i wondered if any of AnyDesk, RustDesk, or NoMachine might have an AI option... & yes, RD does! Aaaaaaand... it works - both for remote-access desktop control, & for file-transfer - yippee! KDELinux, which hitherto stopped this otherwise lovely OS being able to be my fulltime daily system [remote-access ✅, VeraCrypt ✅, backups ✅, virtual machines ✅], i tentatively now conclude that henceforth i'll only boot back into either Arch or Sparky when i want to, rather than til now each time i needed to [for the preceding issues] 🎉 🥳 👯♀️KDELinux [but no other DB] remains galling [not least that coz it does not work i had to find other ways to solve those tricky app issues], but now it is no longer significantly holding me back.

Just dropping this in here in case anyone else runs into it. Zed stopped launching for me entirely this morning, after a reboot on my Debian laptop (which I don't tend to reboot that often) All tro...
Wer irgendwann in letzter Zeit mal testweise die Remote-Desktop-Software NX NoMachine installiert hatte, sollte seinen Linux-Rechner auf Überbleibsel dieser Installation kontrollieren:

Die verbliebene Gerätekonfigurationsregel /etc/udev/rules.d/99-virtualgl-dri.rules hatte mir die Berechtigungen für /dev/dri/renderD128 dergestalt verbogen, dass Vulkan nicht richtig funktionierte.
With NoMachine remote access, security isn’t an add-on, it’s built into its core. End-to-end encryption keeps your remote sessions private, and your data protected.
NoMachine solutions are built to protect your remote desktop and data, but protection still starts with people.
