Remote apps vs. remote desktop

Wow, lots of heat and light about remote apps vs remote desktop.

Maybe I'm odd, but I find I don't use either very much. Most of my remote work involves SSH and a shell prompt, so... meh.

And the dismissal of Linux as a desktop system is pure opinion. On the very rare occasions I have to use Windows, I curse it continually and my productivity plummets compared to working on Linux. I don't understand what is so fundamentally broken about the Linux desktop that we should all just give up and switch to Windows or Mac OS.
