VNC works really well for Linux based workstations. Both RealVNC and TightVNC are good although RealVNC has started pushing their cloud offering recently. Install on both machines, one running as server, the other as a client.

VNC does desktop sharing. That's useful, but very different from remote desktops. Wayland's lack of the ability to do actual remote desktops is the showstopper for Wayland for me.
Wayland's lack of readiness for production use is indeed a major roadblock to using it in production.
I'm not sure where this hair is being split. How do you distinguish "Remote Desktop" from "Desktop Sharing"? Given that both VNC and RDP are defined as "Remote Desktop Sharing" software, how are they not alike?
