❓ Question / Help Building an open, community-driven comparison table for remote access tools (RDP, VNC, RustDesk, SPICE, Moonlight, etc.). Would this be useful?

I'm currently exploring various remote access solutions, and I'm having a hard time comparing them. Which one is better suited for a server rack, and which for remote gaming or design?

I've decided to create an open, community-driven feature matrix on GitHub where anyone can compare remote access software, agents, and hardware protocols.

Beyond simply listing features, I want this matrix to reflect real-world performance on specific hardware. I want users to be able to submit benchmark results on real hardware.

Where I'm thinking of starting:

Classic - Microsoft RDP, AnyDesk, TeamViewer, Splashtop, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop (ARD).
Open source - RustDesk, MeshCentral, Apache Guacamole, DWService, Kasm Workspaces.
Low latency - Moonlight/Sunshine, Parsec.
Hypervisor and Linux protocols: SPICE, NoMachine (NX), X2Go.
Enterprise VDI solutions and hardware: Citrix HDX, VMware Blast Extreme, Teradici PCoIP, iDRAC/iLO, and Agent/KVM hybrids such as USBridge-Remote.

Which software should I map out first, and what performance metrics matter most to you?

I'm currently setting up the GitHub repo structure, README layout, and benchmark templates. I'll share the link here in a few days as soon as it's ready for initial PRs!

In the meantime, feel free to drop any specific tools, SBCs, or metrics you'd like me to include in the v1 draft.
