Remote desktop can solve the problem of uncomfortable work with slow Internet?

The bottom line is this: programmers and everyone who drives traffic back and forth, working with servers, sites need good Internet speed. With a weak and unstable Internet, work turns into hell. For example, when using mobile Internet or even worse in rural conditions.
So: if you transfer your workspace from your home computer to a VPS to a hosting provider and connect via remote desktop, will it be comfortable and convenient to work? Those. on a remote computer, it is supposed to use photoshop, browsers, skype, something to archive and upload to the server.
It seems to me that with a low Internet speed, you can load something and download something for days and eternity. But the speed to maintain a remote desktop should be enough.
What are the advantages I see:
1. When the mobile Internet is interrupted, the processes will not fall off on the VPS - everything that should have been downloaded / uploaded will work
2. Saving your traffic
3. You can take more productive hardware (I don’t know why yet)
4. You can work with anywhere in the world from any computer from your workspace (settings, passwords, "everywhere at home")
5. Saving electricity - the remote computer is always on. Launched downloads/torrents, and turned off their home computer.
....
Correct me if I'm naive to think that this might be a solution to the problems.
And if it can exist, then tell me the VPS should be the same as the home computer in terms of memory or processor, or more powerful, since it seems to me that the server hardware is more productive than the home computer.

Remote desktop is good when the connection is good, with a bad Internet it's hell

This may indeed be the solution to your problem. In any case, it's worth a try.
For hardware - if the configuration of your computer suits you, be guided by it when choosing a VPS, everything is simple.

Remote Desktop saves speed and traffic, it is less demanding on this (unless, of course, the movie is not watched on the remote side). But it is autumn sensitive to delays and jitter. In radio communication conditions, it will be possible to work comfortably only in the zone of reliable reception of the 3g / lte signal

May be. Or maybe not. RDP is a protocol for remote work . That is, setting up something, working with documents, typing, associated with the search and processing of information.
Multimedia, heavy programs (photoshops, video editors, cads) are not about RDP. Will mercilessly slow down. In addition, RDP does not have file sharing tools, so the file downloaded to the server will remain on the server.

For starters, try to use all this via RDP without deploying a VPS, surf, try opening a video on YouTube. RDP is not about Photoshop etc, but for working with working programs, a classic example is 1C on a terminal server.
