I hope this succeeds. Remote desktop sounds like an easy problem and there are many implementations, but most of them don't work well in practice. TeamViewer works very well, but the company is a bit scummy and the pricing is crazy. Windows Remote Desktop works well between Windows machines, and with Tailscale it's pretty convenient. I use PulseWay at work and their remote control is quite barebones and very slow, even in good network conditions. I remember trying all the open source VNC clients/servers I could find a while ago and was disappointed.

I used it to remote into a machine ~3k miles away (different country) and didn't notice much cursor/kb latency at all. In the past I found I was able to play some games on a windows machine remotely across campus from a terrible netbook running arch at like ~30 fps. Every other tool I tried had too much latency or was too poor quality of a connection to make that viable. Edit. I may have been using the windows client through wine, I don't think they had an official Linux client at the time.
