It's much like anything else... I run my desktop under Linux, keep it upodated, have SSH on a non-standard port with only public/private key access enabled for my account. I access it over wireguard running on my home server. Wireguard is the only port available through my firewall. So I can connect to my home network over wireguard, and SSH to my desktop. VS Code + Remoting extensions work great for this... almost like editing locally, but running remotely. The integrated terminal in VS Code is invaluable when doing this.
