Could you build this?
No A production-grade self-hosted remote desktop client requires low-latency real-time video streaming, hardware-accelerated screen capture (DXGI, PipeWire, ScreenCaptureKit), WebRTC/custom UDP transport with NAT traversal (STUN/TURN/ICE), and synthetic OS input injection across multiple desktop platforms.
What it would actually take: The stack involves Rust, C++, WebRTC, custom low-latency UDP networking (like KCP/QUIC), and platform-specific native APIs (DXGI Desktop Duplication on Windows, PipeWire/X11 on Linux, ScreenCaptureKit on macOS). The hardest problems are achieving 60fps real-time AV1/H.264/H.265 hardware encoding with ultra-low latency, handling reliable NAT hole-punching, and cross-platform OS-level input injection with permission elevation. This demands a specialized systems and media networking engineering team.
