AFAIK (and I could be wrong), that runs in the current user session, so it doesn't work for headless systems or systems that haven't been logged on.

And that kind of speaks to my complaint. I've used Linux for 2 decades and I can't even get remote desktop set up to allow me to switch between users / profiles. I can technically, and I've done it for Hyper-V enhanced session support, but it's a huge pain.

There's a neat script on GitHub to help with it for Hyper-V, but Google's tracking seems to be broken in a way that won't let me follow links from search, so I guess I'm just going to say screw it for the day and hope all the broken trash works better tomorrow. Lmao.

and you are still not sure "that runs in the current user session, so it doesn't work for headless systems or systems that haven't been logged on" - very weak point of Linux (in wide terms) ecosystem - YOU ARE NOT SURE.

Windows (in wide terms) gives you simple way - buy more RAM and be ASSURED. Simple action people can do and apply in their planning.
