> Meaning, I log in to my desktop at home, I leave and log in via RDP and get the same desktop session, which I can again resume when I get back home. This is either not possible or doesn't work well last time I tested xrdp and friends.

This works with x2go.

Ah, I don't think I even got that far with x2go. Dismissed it due to performance.

But good to know!

Strange because x2go performs better than anything else. Though you have to set the "Connection" settings correctly for your use. Setting for too low a bandwidth is just as bad as too high. "WAN" with "256-jpeg" works pretty well for me.

If you mean better than anything else available on Linux, you're probably right.

The problem is that it's still an order or magnitude behind Windows-to-Windows RDP, which is my benchmark.

But thanks for reminding me, I'll give it another whirl.
