A lot of remote dev environments have limitations when it comes to certain types of development. For example, ios and android app development can be tricky. Or game development where you need to have GPUs and build artifacts may be slow to download to your machine.

Are there any guidances for how to fix this?

Founder of coder (https://github.com/coder/coder) here. We choose Terraform as our provisioning layer so that users can provision full blown VMs as their development environment.

We have many teams using GPUs with Coder for ML workloads but doing GUI/Game remote development where interactivity is essential remains elusive.

You can access GPUs within containers using CDI (Container Device Interface): https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-to... No additional tools (e.g., nvidia-ctk) are needed. Docker has recently added support for CDI in version 25.0.
