You could call it that. The most direct analogy is RDP, or even a kvm. It’s a remote session to another machine, but under the hood it’s using the fast and efficient video codecs, h264 or hevc. It’s also good about piping audio from the remote machine to whatever you’re using locally.
I’m also hoping to dump windows. I spent a week trying to get my usb interface working with guitar rig running in wine bottles. I was getting nowhere with it just fell back to using the windows box remotely.
Personally, I think anyone who can should give at least one shot at home baked bread, if only to see whether or not it’s something they want to do. I think for most it’s going to come down to whether or not they have the time for it in their day to day, week to week, routines. If you’ve never tried, there’s a nice recipe on youtube, first (or top 5) result when you search ‘5 minute baguette’, by Voila. I found this to be pretty doable in a daily routine. The 5 minutes is only referring to final prep time once you got a handle on it; no matter what the dough in this recipe needs to set up for 8 hours.
