There are plenty of good ones, but you probably fail to recognize the best ones. In fact, the very question suggests that you have a limited world view. You will reject what I say because it doesn't fit into your narrow view. That's not meant as an attack, just an observation of human nature.
For example, one "remote desktop" that has become popular lately is called Wireguard. You connect, open the spreadsheet stored on the office network drive and print it to either the printer in the office on to the printer sitting next to you.
Many people would say that is sooo much better than RDP. That is not Windows thinking. That is Unix thinking--you know, Mac/Linux. (And BSD and most everybody else in the world)
So, to say it differently, Mac/Linux people often solve problems a different way, so they use different tools. Why don't laser printers come with whiteout toner?
- SAI_Peregrinus 4y agoThat solves a different problem. A remote desktop does the CPU-intensive computation on the remote side, not the local side. A tunnel like Wireguard or SSH does the computation on the local side, foz GUI programs that don't run in a terminal. Now, quite a lot can be done from a terminal, but some compute-intensive things are better suited to GUI programs. CAD/CAM, for example.
