Thanks for the links!

Reading those though, I’m kind of underwhelmed.

You have to have a dedicated Windows Terminal Server installation (which I’m sure has expensive and complicated licensing), on that you have to “publish apps” (which seems like a process in itself), on the client you need to subscribe to feeds.

And after about 100 such individual steps... magic.

With X11 I just forward a socket, launch a normal program normally, and everything just works.

That’s just so much simpler, so much easier to work with and easier to understand. I can do it casually, on demand, when I need it. No preparation needed.

That Windows thing... looks expensive and something you which takes planning.
