W.r.t to working principle/protocol, VNC is to X11 what MOSH is to SSH-Terminal, with RDP taking the best of both worlds.

The RDP-server, and -client implementations are mature on all common platforms, with a well-supported common minimum protocol version support.

For anything but localhost I try to use RDP.
