For $25/month, just rent a dedicated server in Europe (or even just put in your basement if your network connection is sufficiently sized). RDP with HyperV has everything you need for that sort of usage (RemoteFX).

For coding, you don't even need a GPU. Just use RDP. Big companies use this all the time (thin clients + central server farm, also called VDI).

I tend to prefer Linux on the server, and I've tried the iPad + tmux + vim route on a remote server and the experience hasn't been great. It's usually latency problems that trip me up. I travel a lot and rely on tethering to my phone's 4g connection, which mostly works but can be quite frustrating.

Living permanently on 4G I couldn't get by without mosh. I have managed to do weeks of work with most+tmux+vim at times when ssh was too painful to use.

On mosh's note. It's great experience for slow connection. Totally agree. There is new ios client recently released client with mosh support build-in [1]. Happy user

But Paperspace is Windows only.

If you want Linux remoting, I recommend either x11vnc or xrdp.
