just curious: why do you need multiple remote desktops instead multiple desktop directly?

I don't, necessarily. I just want to be able to sit downstairs, and toggle between the three screens of my work machine upstairs while sitting at the single screen of my entertainment machine downstairs. The technology is immaterial - I just want it to work.

thanks for sharing. I just have a server in my home(LAN) and have several computer connected to it.

When I was working, if I needed a server for a project (quite frequently, as I did LOB/DB stuff for SMBs) I always got the client to provide it - thus I no longer have a server!

Alt-Tab gives you a grid view of your windows (arrow navigation).
Alt-Windows-Tab takes you previous / next app window. etc.
Brings back pre-mouse days. Like what AI will do to our brains.

If you can set up the client computer to be an extended desktop where it considers all of your monitors to be one logical device. Then you could connect to your Remote Desktop with a single, triple wide monitor.
You just position your windows in the correct place.
When switching between RDP and physical connected monitors, your windows may end off screen.
Try this old school hack to reposition the active, offscreen window:
Alt+Spacebar
M
Up Arrow on cursor diamond
Move your mouse to reposition your window.
Or right click on the taskbar, Cascade to restack all windows.
Switching between office and home equally has made this a daily routine for me.

I haven't tried this myself, but I recently learned of Barrier, a software KVM switch.

That looks like a most helpful thing, as so far I haven't solved my problem. I shall give it a try, thanks.

I use a powered docking station that allows me to dock my Dell XPS 13 to a pair of, LG 32QN600-B 32-Inch QHD monitors via USB-C. The single docking cable also charges my laptop. And I can use a wireless keyboard and mouse with a USB combo camera/mic.

What about RemoteApp? This way, every remote window will be it's own window, letting you use your local screens & window management however you like. Including using your local virtual desktops to manage them.

Funny but not funny.
I'm a die-hard Alabam Crimson Tide Football fan. And the national Championship Semi-Final is today.
Joke as a whole is funny, but just ill-timed for me personally.

Yes, I watch Youtube, yes I don't have an ad blocker, my bad.
Anyway, I thought it was a small price to pay to give a little something back to the channels I watch...
But really, Gaia? Really?
It just happens I was watching this video titled "Why do people think Aliens build the pyramids", and boom I got an ad from Gaia about Ancient Aliens. During that video of all time, wtf is the AI thinking? It's like 7 times this week. Gaia is a paying streaming service, people pay for this sh*t!
OMG! this is even more aggravating that ads for evil political party... 
I swear it, the ads on Youtube have become increasingly stupid as of late... 
(but, on a positive news, I am happy with the selection of video picked by the algorithm. How strange then, that they pick their ads so badly)

I suggest AdBlock, it's free unless you do premium

plus you could reset your ad tracker id periodically and set ad to non personalized
How do you do that?
As to ad-blocker, I am not sure whether I tried once and it was suboptimal and I justify myself later, or if I prefer to have ads in order to sponsor whatever I am watching... either way, today, I rather not use ads blocker.

you can do that from https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en
the id reset i think is for the youtube app, so you have to do it their in the privacy settings..
watching random videos and subscribing to random add noise to the algo.
you can have multiple browsers like chrome /chromium and setup ad block on one of them and try not on your main browser if u wish

Actually I went back to that page again in a more refresh state of mind. Totally underestimated it originally!
I was able to get rid of the top 2 obnoxious ads, yeah! Might have to study that page gain to remove more stuff! 
Thanks heaps man!

Interesting.
As a side note, I am not entirely against ads, since they pay (minutely?) the youtuber.
But ads are becoming more and more obnoxious. As in 2 in a row, longer, and increasingly poor taste - like they purposely target me with things I don't like hoping perhaps, I will finally click them this time!?
(I guess this is the push for youtube red... nut I resisted and subscribe to Nebula instead!)
