For example, one "remote desktop" that has become popular lately is called Wireguard. You connect, open the spreadsheet stored on the office network drive and print it to either the printer in the office on to the printer sitting next to you.
Many people would say that is sooo much better than RDP. That is not Windows thinking. That is Unix thinking--you know, Mac/Linux. (And BSD and most everybody else in the world)
So, to say it differently, Mac/Linux people often solve problems a different way, so they use different tools. Why don't laser printers come with whiteout toner?
