Neovim Remote ssh
ssh from your favourite terminal to your workstation works fine. (I spent two COVID years working that way.) If you use multiple terminals, look up ssh multiplexing to improve performance a bit. If you want to keep remote sessions alive without mucking up your preferred terminal, try dtach.

Boot to Vim, Vim as PID 1
Not the same, but I really dig using vim (neovim) as my terminal multiplexer. Vim has tools for managing windows, splits, all the things, and it felt redundant having two separate tools.
The one thing I needed was a way to attach/detach it, and have it survive across ssh disconnects. I struggled for a while trying to use things like reptyr or others. Eventually I remembered/rediscovered dtach, which is a very thin very simple proxy, as opposed to a full on terminal emulator / multiplexer. https://github.com/crigler/dtach

Is TMUX necessary when using emacs?
Not really, and for what TRAMP + vterm doesn't cover such as unexpected disconnects, there's dtach and detached.el.

After years on Linux, I just discovered Vim & TMUX. They're fucking amazing.
GNU Screen, tmux and dtach (with convenient Emacs interface) all serve to limit that problem.

Console – An Interview with Kovid Goyal of Kitty, the GPU Based Terminal
> What's an opinion you have that most people don't agree with?
> Haha. I specialize in having opinions people don’t agree with :) In kitty, the most controversial is probably that terminal multiplexers are the devils’ gift to mankind.
I cannot agree strongly enough that the virtualized rendering done by programs like screen & tmux is a curse. Trying to get truecolor tmux+ssh+tmux+vim working in truecolor mode is a disaster. Terminal-multiplexers emulate a screen and then render their buffered session to whomever is attached, and it's a frustrating, bad, lossy process. Often the original session and what attaches don't match, and there's not much one can really do. I am not a terminal expert but the situation seems awful, & is one of the highest elder crafts of computing, far more subtle & deranged than one could ever imagine.
Kitty tries to re-build a lot of these terminal multiplexer functionalities itself. It has tabs, it has splits. Generally kitty is a pretty do-all terminal system. Afaik there's not really any way presently to solve the root of these mismatch problems, which is basically that programs generally don't reevaluate their TERM environment variable, even though these environs are technically editable at runtime (by the process, or outsiders).
Kovid (Kitty author) talks about being a vim user. I too am a vim user. In fact, one of my favorite techniques has been to just live inside vim, to use it's terminal emulator, to get ok (i'm still pretty not good) at using it's splits and windows to lay stuff out. The one missing agent for me was that I wanted a way to be able to detach my vim session & come back latter. I spent considerable time trying reptyr & other ways to reattach processes. After much failure at getting vim to detach/reattach, to persist across sessions, I eventually re-encountered a program dtach[1] I'd run into years ago, which works great. Unlike tmux and screen, it's not a terminal emulator. It's just a dumb pipe that a program can render into, and a way to reattach to that pipe again latter. It can run in detached mode so that if your session exits, the program stays open. This way, I can just open vim & have my entire workspace inside vim, with whatever terminals I need, and detach/reattach the vim session at my leisure.

Are there any Discord Ticker Bots?
So now whenever you execute that command, it will update the channel with the current price. You can then run it on a loop, crontab, whatever you want. One of my favorite things to do is to use while $true loops, and applications like dtach.

I am so glad and excited when I learn about multiple windows on vim, guess I'll use it more often.
i prefer to use dtach for that if I only need this feature

Well, I now use tmux and tmuxinator. I have had many failed tmux attempts over the years, but I'm firmly bedded in now.

Kera Desktop: open-source, cross-platform, web-based desktop environment
I once bought a 32 core ThreadRipper and tried to get along with using a cheap £200 Windows 10 laptop to remote into the threadripper while in coffee shops and use the ThreadRipper to do my work.
The £200 Windows 10 laptop wasn't powerful enough, it was too laggy. Even on Wifi.
I love the idea of the X11 protocol. And I still love the idea of a web desktop. Something that is supremely well integrated and allows me to move workloads between client and server seamlessly. This idea I really like. The ability to outsource computation and storage seamlessly. A process can be moved between machines seamlessly.
This could be modelled in Javascript and promises that can be sent around. Microservices in the desktop environment.
I looked at tools that would bring up tmux sessions with everything preloaded. (https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator)
ScrapScript has very good ideas in this area of distributing dependencies and storage. (https://scrapscript.org/) There is also val town.
I never use KDE Plasma widgets or the sidebar widgets that Mac provided.
There is so many exciting ideas that could be tried out but I worry they're all too big ideas to be implemented.

How to save workspaces?

Getting Started with Tmux
I use https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator for my workspaces. Doesn't save ad-hoc layouts, but usually I find one layout that works per project, then create a tmuxinator config for it, so after reboot, it's a short "tmuxinator start $my-project" away to get back to how I want it to be.

zoom only one side of the window?
I doubt that would be possible with tmux's built-in zoom functionality (if it is, I'm not aware). You can use tools such as tmuxinator to create cusotm layouts, but I think "zoom" in tmux means "cover the whole window"

Been there, done that
mprocs looks pretty cool. In the past I've used Tmuxinator or Tmuxp configs for stuff like that.
What are some alternatives?
abduco - abduco provides session management i.e. it allows programs to be run independently from its controlling terminal. That is programs can be detached - run in the background - and then later reattached. Together with dvtm it provides a simpler and cleaner alternative to tmux or screen.
tmuxp - 🖥️ Session manager for tmux, build on libtmux.

OpenSSH-LINEMODE - This is an import of the portable OpenSSH CVS tree, with hacks to support client-side input line editing. This feature is desirable because it eliminates character echoing delays when working with remote servers across distant and/or slow networks, and also helps cut down on the number of bytes and packets transmitted in an interactive session.
