That is a bloody lie. Nothing on X feels like it's running locally except for actually locally running applications. String an Ethernet cable across the room, and run X apps remotely over it, and you'll get lag and chug.

RDP actually delivers on the promise of local-feeling remote apps.

(The revenge of the UNIX-HATERS is that Microsoft designed a better shell than sh (PowerShell), a better X than X (RDP), and a better Emacs than Emacs (Visual Studio Code).)
