In the same sense windows are not network transparent when in fact RDP works perfectly, certainly much better that X11 over WAN.

Actually for wayland there is wprs for remote display of apps so here it goes the network transparency argument...

I have used X11 over WAN and it worked fine. Even connecting to a different country, which a significantly slower connection than I have now.

I do not know the current state of RDP etc., but does it allow you to open a single application rather than an entire desktop on Linux, and does it display correctly for the device you are using rather than the one the app is running on?

Only certain Linux RDP clients support per-app windows and I'm not sure how to actually set that up on Linux (only used WinBoat which is a Windows host and does all the Linux config automatically)
