> Now I'm looking for a better remote access solution so I can consider sticking with a desktop at home and then maybe just an iPad for travel with good remote access and file sync. This is my solution. I don't really need to do any file syncing as rsync or scp works fine for my purposes. It has been a fantastic dev experience. I remote in, bring up my last tmux session and pick up exactly where I left off, regardless of the front-end machine. I use an ipad pro for a ton of development now and it really is fantastic for it. I've got a overkill desktop dev machine (previous gaming rig) that can make all the noise it wants in my basement and my front-end shell remains quiet. I set up zerotier so I can constant access to it whether I'm on my local network or remote.

Can you tell me more about your setup? What apps do you use on your iPad for remote access? Is it just remote shell or do you do Remote Desktop too? What do you use for Remote Desktop?

  Not the original poster but I use my iPad Air for a similar setup. Development environment runs under Docker Compose/WSL2 on my desktop, which I can start/stop using Chrome remote desktop. I've got code server and portainer in that compose file which are accessible from my iPad using tailscale, it makes for a passable development environment if I want/need to work away from the desktop for whatever reason

I want to have the better of both worlds and a nice uncluttered desk so I ended up buying an Intel NUC 9 module plus RTX 3060 that I keep hidden in a closet and game remotely using Moonlight and Gamestream. Everything works just fine on a Gigabit connection and plays well with the Xbox controller on the M1 as if its local. I can play everything on 1440p@60fps which is more than enough to me.
