FreeRDP: A Remote Desktop Protocol Implementation
https://remmina.org/
The promise behind this sounds like the holy grail of Remote Access.
Is it Linux-only for the clients? Or can you use Mac or Windows to reach it?

"I need to test something on a Mac real quick", as solved by AWS EC2
Next up, we need some sort of VNC client on our workstation. I strongly recommend Remmina if you value not spending your time debugging and configuring things. Just select "VNC" from the main connection bar's dropdown, punch in localhost:5900, and hit enter. An authentication screen will pop up: fill it with ec2-user for the username, and whatever password you provided to dscl earlier.

Go To Software/Tools for Programmers
On linux I use remmina to do basically the same thing. I actually think remmina is better, it's really too bad it's linux only.

Today I'm going to install Linux on my parents computer. Need help to set it up for easy remote management.

What are some linux utilities/tools/apps you would want to have, that don't exist and think would be really useful.
There is Remmina, but I am not sure it will satisfy your needs. It would be nice to have a well made cross-platform ssh connections manager for people who connect to a lot of servers.

Xpra: Multi-platform screen and application forwarding system for x11
I had good results using Remmina (https://remmina.org/) for RDP to a Windows host from a Raspberry Pi. The only thing that let it down at the time was a lack of "clean" multi-monitor support. I'm not sure if it's been improved in the year since I last tried, but you could fudge it by creating a single window that was 2x monitors wide.
- Is there a way to easily extend my display in mint cinnamon to another PC, using ethernet cable?
-
What are you using for Remote Desktop + SSH client?
Well, i type 'ssh' for ssh in my terminal :) You probably mean a gui for everything together, right? I use Remmina for the windows remotes I have to use at work sometimes from my Linux machine, works good enough and supports all protocols you listed.

Need some recommendations for remote management
I guess Remmina or Ásbrú Connection Manager is worth trying out. Ásbrú seems to be more a universal tool for all types of connections, while Remmina only focus on remote desktop. I've only used Remmina myself, and it does what it's supposed to (tested it with RDP, VNC and SPICE)

can i remote access windows desktop from linux laptop?
Depending on the Linux distro, you'll have a built in viewer or you can try another one. I personally like Remmina

Hrvach/Deskhop: Fast Desktop Switching Device
Barrier is a Cross-Plattform, open source Synergy fork that works quite well without any additional HW too [0]
Prior to Synergy going to closed source, it was forked into Barrier[0], which then was forked into input-leap[1]. Both open source.
Synergy is open core, these portions are licensed as GPL: https://github.com/symless/synergy-core/#License-1-ov-file
There is an open source fork that branches off version 1.9: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier#what-is-it

Wayland vs. X – Overview
libei looks useful. But IDK why libei is necessary to run Barrier with Wayland?
For client systems, couldn't there just be a virtual /dev/inputXYZ that Barrier forwards events through
And for host systems, it looks like xev only logs input events when the window is focused.
Is xeyes still broken on Wayland, and how to fix it so that it would work with Barrier?
With Barrier, when the mouse cursor reaches a screen boundary, the keyboard and mouse input are then passed to a different X session on another box until the cursor again crosses a screen boundary rule.
Barrier is a fork of Synergy's open core: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier
