Many of the remote desktop setups use a restricted color gamut to reduce bandwidth, so are not usable when color details are important. Rstudio-server and Jupyter provide web servers, and have moved beyond their original language focus. Both provide remote terminals, Rstudio does Python in notebooks, Jupyter supports R in notebooks. There is no requirement for a desktop on the remote server. Enterprise data centres are not happy with Xorg for security reasons. Wayland remote desktop support has not arrived yet. -- George N.
