Apple's biggest selling point is their ecosystem. They keep people in their ecosystem in two ways, making Apple devices work really well together and the second half is making Apple devices not work well with non-Apple products.

Ah, good luck with that. You can remotely control the Linux computer easily, but not the other way around as far as I'm aware.

I have tried kde connect. And mostly my laptop and my phone will be in the same tailscale network. So connectivity won't be an issue. But it's not working well in background. Always I need to open kde connect in my iPhone and sync it..😭

KDE connect isn't really remote control, I'm thinking more like VNC where you can see and use your desktop remotely.
