Linux should have got the lead here, what happened? Lack of app ecosystem in Linux? i think that's the problem..

  X11 forwarding is slow and shitty and Wayland didn't acknowedlege the value of remote desktop for far too long. Also remote desktop is about way more than mouse, keyboard and graphics.these days people expect usb device forwarding and audio too

    Does Wayland even have a good remoting solution today?

      I use Xpra to remote individual apps. It's not as good as RDP, but better than other remoting solutions like forwarding X11 over ssh, Nomachine or X2go.

      No, because like everything else it has to be done by the compositor. I’m not going to pretend it’s super simple to make Linux work in a modern VDI environment, there’s a lot that needs to be done to match what Citrix, VMWare and Microsoft do - but it kind of shows that nobody actually thinks Linux on the desktop makes sense when nobody has even tried to make it work.
