Title: IIUC, RDP (Microsoft&#x27;s remote desktop protocol) sends draw commands across. It&#x27;s the default way to access remote desktops on Windows. Conversely, AFAICT, the default way on MacOS and Linux is VNC which IIUC sends all the pixels (with compression). I&#x27;ve noticed for years I can work remotely, edit code, etc on RDP. I&#x27;ve done it around the across 8000 miles and had hardly any lag. Conversely I&#x27;m trying to share 2 computers right next to each other in the same network via VNC and it&#x27;s horribly laggy.<p>Is this just not an itch anyone has wanted to scratch in the last 25 years? On Linux you can maybe XWindows your way to a faster connection by what about Mac? Also, RDP seems to let me run GPU based stuff where as XWindows you&#x27;re actually not seeing the computer&#x27;s display.
