Well that's hardly much of a comparison, the RDP server for KDE is very unlikely to support anything more advanced than VNC, actually probably quite a bit less. When everyone is holding up RDP as an example protocol, they are talking about the native implementation on Windows so that is very much relevant to understanding the example.

Now what did I say in my comment? Oh yeah, I don't use Windows.

Hey, if the Wayland people can retrofit a protocol, great. I have yet to see any real evidence that they intend to work on it but see lots of evidence they won't ("no one uses it" comments all over).

Well, you can get a Windows instance on Amazon S3 for a couple of bucks. Try to work in it using RDP, you'd be quite surprised.

I'm using RDP right now from Kiev (Ukraine) to work with my Windows compute nodes in California. Ping time is 220ms on average but it's definitely usable.

Plain X remoting is not usable at all. X11vnc is usable, but much more uncomfortable than RDP.

Then stop complaining loudly and insistently about the performance of something you've never even bothered to try.
