All good points. Fair enough. That said, don’t be too quick to dismiss the remote desktop option. Not sure when you last tried, but these days with software like remmina, connecting remotely to a desktop (particularly one on your lan) is indistinguishable to sitting in front of it. Sure, you can’t do things like play games at any useable framerate, but for something like Stable Diffusion I would expect it to be ideal.
