As a software dev, I like using whatever as a local env but SSH'ing into something more powerful to perform any heavy lifting. There's also tools like VSCode Remote that make it almost like developing locally. That said, the most taxing tools that I use regularly are things like video conferencing and "collaboration" tools like Miro. These things are hell.

Do you mean computationally taxing or mentally taxing?

In my experience, both?

And combine computationally heavy result of running stuff like Miro adding to any inherent complexity of collaboration task... Ehhh

That is not what the article is talking about:

> I'm also going to restrict this discussion to the case of "We run a full graphical environment on the VM, and stream that to the laptop" - an approach that only offers SSH access is much more manageable, but also significantly more restricted in certain ways. With those details mentioned, let's begin.
