VS Code for the development, SSH for the remote desktop, most of operations can be done via VSCode anyways. Chrome RDP is slow, I agree. I never use it anyways.
But I frequently use vscode+ssh+tmux on the desktop when working from home.
Then the powerful laptop just has to run chrome.. which to be fair, it barely does without crashing :)
