Yeah, this feels like a good solution for when you only occasionally need to get the remote machine to do the work, e.g. the macbook example for simple dev work. In that case it probably is more convenient.

If you were relying heavily on the remote machine, maybe using a pinebook pro or something, ssh or rdp might make more sense.

It's cool to have more options though, I have considered workflows like this before especially in the context of replacing my laptop with something like a pinebook.

Per the readme, architectures aren't cross-compatible, so you can't run commands from an x86 box on an ARM box (and presumably vice-versa). That would rule out the pinebook and most SBCs as potential use-cases.
