As much as I don't like Windows, I must say that RDP from a Windows machine to another Windows machine is by far the best remote desktop solution created so far.

Just use Sunshine + Moonlight, both are open source, self hosted and provide full hardware acceleration. Been using this for a while as a Developer and Gamer, and the experience is great! Also if you want to go truly remote, add tailscale to this stack. That's it, that's all you need.

"Gooey" is normal. I had a CompSci professor that would say "Earl" for URL. That was rough.

Dude this is sponsorship done right. I think i speak for most of us when I say sponsorships are usually annoying, naggy, and not relevant to the subject (i.e. shaving kits on a cyber security video, etc). That transition to the Twingate ad and its relevance to remote access was just absolutely perfect, and a good option for home users like us or small teams with a few devices. Thanks for all the info, very well done.

twingate looks a hell like tailscale, especially the config gui

Thank you for doing sponsorship this way. Usually the moment a creator mentions a sponsor I just tap ‘next’ 6 times to skip 60 seconds. This was actually informative.
