Ask HN: Are any remote desktop solutions good enough for full-time use?

I'm thinking about having a beefy desktop computer at home and using some kind of remote desktop solution to connect to it from other places (e.g co-working spaces).

I have good bandwidth (250+ Mbit both ways) with low latency (< 10 ms) between the computers.

Is there any solution that's good enough for 100% full-time use. I'm thinking about stuff like high DPI ("retina") resolutions, transfer of audio input and output and just overall good enough quality and latency to not get annoyed by it.

The computer at home is probably going to running macOS, and I would preferably have a solution where the client can be run on macOS or maybe linux.

Does anyone have experience with a solution like this?
