From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I will recommend xpra, it's seamless mode is fantastic for running individual programs. Lots of other features that I haven't tested yet as well, like the Windows client. Shadow mode lets you attach to an existing session. There is also a full desktop mode that should work more similarly to VNC, but I haven't gotten it to work for me sadly.
I also use Sunshine together with Moonlight to get a bit more responsive results for remote gaming.
Haven't looked into Wayland support in terms of the remote for either, but both solutions work on my laptop with Plasma 5 Wayland session.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I use a VPN for actually accessing the remote host on the go, but on a LAN you don't need anything special.
