#12I'm sorry if this sounds completely ridiculous to some people, but what do people use RDP/Windows server for in 2021? Given that ASP/Dotnet is portable to linux, what are people building that isn't better deployed to linux? It can't just be the legacy use-case, can it?

I use Windows VMs on Google Cloud to install and play games in the cloud - my Mac can’t play any

It's not. This is a regular .NET Windows Forms app and the docking/tabbing stuff is DockPanelSuite, I'd recognize it a mile away. This is confirmed by poking around in their .csproj.

hows the performance/input lag on that? How much are you paying & is it worth?

We use remote scripted Indesign instances for creating catalogues, which needs Windows to run, and RDP for debugging.
I'd love to hear about alternative solutions that don't require Windows, and still spit out colour-accurate CMYK indesign files; the printing shops won't accept anything else.

#18This sounds like a deal breaker for some use cases: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/iap-desktop/wiki/Trou... "Because of the way IAP Desktop tunnels RDP connections, it always uses NTLM for authentication and can't use Kerberos." There may be environments that lose the security benefits of Kerberos over NTLMv2 (e.g., mutual authentication) because they've been forced into a new compliance mandate that dictates adoption of Zero Trust in all available contexts.

#19How much work would it be to make this general purpose? To not only work for Google-cloud...
Here open source, general purpose version for access to any cloud or resource in fact. This is specifically for SSH but can support any protocol or app with the vanilla SDKs and tunnelers - https://ziti.dev/blog/zitifying-ssh/

In my mind that keyboard navigable tree widget is the one redeeming feature of windows. I guess the age of “keyboard first” is long gone :(
