What would you recommend for that use case? Just remote into an always on desktop?
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoDepends on exactly which usecase: * Evading corporate IT: I do not recommend doing this. * Normal[0] remote access to a machine: Yeah, running a remote desktop in software on the machine[1] is almost always going to be easier, cheaper, more performant, and more flexible than anything you tack on externally. [0] Where "normal" remote access means it doesn't need to work when the machine is kernel panicked or in the firmware setup screens. [1] The machine itself can be whatever you want. It can be an always-on desktop, but it can also be a laptop that sits in the corner and that only boots up when you poke it with a Wake-on-LAN packet, or a VM on an ESXi cluster, or a (carefully secured) Hetzner Cloud VM. That part is dealer's choice depending on your needs.
