Failure of Linux Desktop you mean.

RDP works great and GUI tooling for Windows and macOS is quite comparable to using VB, Delphi, Smalltalk like experiences.

RDP works great on Linux as well. The problem isn't remote access, it is lack of good cross platform GUIs. There is a reason browsers are dominating the UI space and TUIs are popular.

		Yeah, laziness, we had plenty or cross platform GUIs in the 1990's.

		Qt is still around. And there's stuff like Avalonia. The problem is that people don't use that and reach for Electron instead, and then you get that "bad on any platform (but good enough to ship)" effect.

X could do that before RDP was even a project. I think OP is meaning something different.

Of course it could, it is essentially dead, because hardly anyone still does X remoting, and Wayland doesn't support it.

		Ironically these days the built-in "remote desktop" feature in Gnome is literally RDP.

There are no failures for Linux Desktop; this can never be the meaning. I say this with humor in mind.

Requiring me to have a cloud account to format my machine (mac) and requiring me to have a cloud account on only pre-authorized hardware (Windows 11), only to open up Notepad and see they slapped AI inside of it; now that is quite comparable to me slapping Linux on it.

Just sayin'

		You don’t need any kind of account to erase a Mac.
