Interesting. Linux desktop really suffers from not having something slick as RDP on Windows. VNC isn't performant enough, I've found the open source RDP servers to be buggy and reattaching to a session sometimes doesn't work and can cause crashes (at least on my Fedora install). VNC can do the same sometimes attaching to an existing session.
At the moment I use Windows as a jump box to do remote sessions to my Linux development VM, which is on the same local network.
Something that works well over a decent internet connection and can reliably re-connect to an existing session would be great.
I use NoMachine for Linux to Linux remote desktop, which feels almost as good as RDP for Windows on LAN and workable, but not quite as slick as RDP over lower bandwidth internet.
I've tried VNC, x2go, xpra, and NoMachine has been the best experience. NoMachine also has a free Windows client-only installation hidden somewhere on their website.
