yeah, magit via TRAMP kinda works, just slow af: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44356346

not really TRAMP's fault, of course...

it also doesn't quite work with macOS remotes usually.

again, not purely TRAMP's fault, but a default config and habits issue with ~/.zshrc vs ~/.zprofile and maybe /etc/sshd/config settings, i think. i hasn't fully figured it out yet.

using this kind of "full-screen terminal screen sharing" approach has a more predictable experience, because of the amount of data transferred is usually 1 screen worth of characters (and colors) max, on most keystrokes.

that's both a pro and a con.

it imposes a fixed, network connection dependent input lag and the output is also often redrawn by retransmitting the same data over and over again...
