Yeah. NT used to be so fast even through remote desktop, now it is so slow because of the bloat. Also I've read somewhere NT suffers from young developers wanting to rewrite parts in higher level languages, avoiding old winapi. But the Kernel is fast and nice...

A fair amount of my work is done via remote desktop, via VPN even, and it doesn't strike me as a particularly slow. I guess the question is, compared to what? On what hardware and network infrastructure?

It suffers from young developes wanting to ship Chrome alongside each application.

And it doesn't help that UWP and C++/WinRT turned out such mess that even Microsoft own teams rather use Webviews than native UIs.

I used to use the WinAPi directly and then MFC.

I still find NT very fast when using through RDP, especially compared with any FLOSS solution that exist in the GNU/Linux world. I've not tried proprietary graphic remoting solution for GNU/Linux systems though.

Those proprietary just use compression. RDP is genially invented, passing messages/calls efficiently. X also has a ton of messages, but compressing them is not sufficient
