With regards to Windows I use ways from NT era, Windows Vista/7, and Windows 10 to configure Windows, and I bet they added stuff in 11, too. It is a mess, supposedly by a company which makes a super user friendly UI (/s)
NFS is a very simple yet archaic filesystem, with nice throughput, but it comes from a LAN era where LAN clients were trusted. I don't know if it got modernized but I just use SSH over FUSE or CIFS over Wireguard.
