Windows has quite a lot of remote admin tools that work pretty transparently over the network though.
The issue is that they're historically never turned on or heavily restricted.
Where the user is involved though RDP is a world class remote desktop never exceeded by Linux anywhere.
If someone wants to impress me, point Claude at Wayland and get it so I can seamlessly open remote RDP from somewhere else, lock the local user session and resume it on the remote desktop, then walk back to the original terminal and continue working in that same user session. This worked perfectly over 20 years ago.
Yeah, RDP is great. Sunshine has basically solved this problem for me on Linux, even with {way,hypr}land (haven't tried on macos yet)
Had a look and the "locked local session" problem is still not solved. The gui would be unlocked and visible on the host the whole time.
Do you mean the local session would be locked while you work unlocked from remote? That should be doable with a separate session using a dummy HDMI plug, but your original comment read to me as being able to remote in and lock the session, which is 100% possible with Sunshine
