Another option is to get the iPad (and magic keyboard and pencil) and remote desktop into your home machine.

Put it behind a VPN, use wake-on-lan and boom, iPad is essentially a fully blown computer.

No, that would turn it into a fully blown thin client.

What is the point of having half a TB of storage, however many gigs of RAM, lidar, radar, sonar, and the best processor architecture money can buy to render a glorified, interactive video?

I would like to be able to write code without having to pay the price of internet latency. I don't need a $1000 tablet to render RDP.

Termux on Android does what you're asking for, but I doubt it's what you actually want. shrugs
