I tried just about everything a couple of years ago. Various VNC variants, X2Go etc.

They all sucked in terms of speed/performance compared to Windows-to-Windows RDP, and none allowed for starting a new desktop session if user wasn't already logged in, or resuming existing session if present. Both essential to me.

Many lacked some features like clipboard, file transfer, sound. First two are hard requirements as well.

I see things have been moving, so I'm hoping things become viable in a year or three.
