There's a second crucial element to this: can it lock the local screen while you do this?
I did this a whole lot in the lab with Windows - walk away, and log in remotely and monitor my session, then head back in and log back on locally.
I never found a way to do this with Linux that just restores the session the way Windows seems able to. Instead all I ever found was "the remote screen is unlocked and the cursor is moving" or whatever.

- XorNot 3y agoYeah see this has always been where I think Windows dominates Linux. Going from local to RDP to local feels seamless and secure. I wish we could get that experience on Linux.
