Agreed. Its not just that its better, it is also that most of the settings for Linux ends up not using the same desktop you would get if you were sitting in front of it.
I still haven't found a solution for where I can login over the network and accessing the same session I would have gotten by sitting in front of the computer (including GPU acelleration). The guides are either for something like NoMachine that requires your screen to be on and often that you are logged in first, or they start a separate environment up using something like VNC.
Meanwhile Remote Desktop, as you said, just works.
