Wifi and Bluetooth go over the air. RDP is a one way wire with a screen.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

That's being pedantic over the meaning of the phrase "air-gap". The accepted usage in computer-speak is no network connectivity of any kind, over any variety of medium, hard-wire or over-the-air. There is a conceptual physical gap surrounding the network.

Quote: RDP is a one way wire with a screen.
RDP is one of the most exploited protocols out there. Because it is everything but one way. For example, you can set up printing to a local printer, which, if this mere possibility is exploited and abused, is one way of data egress...

Can't give much advice on air-gapped development, but we use the free and open-source version of Gitea as a local Git server on Windows for years now which works very well. Gitea can function as a NuGet server and also has support for Cargo, Chef, Composer, Conan, Conda, Container, Helm, Maven, npm, Pub, PyPI, RubyGems, Vagrant, etc.

Very helpful, thank you! We have GitLab Enterprise running on the internal network; it can be my local NuGet server. Then all I have to do it make sure I download all the packages I need and stuff them up there.

After reading all the replies, just one additional note: .Net 7 isn't LTS. Use .NET 6 or wait for .NET 8.
The is assuming that LTS support is important for your environment.

For first part of your question, I don't have an answer like other people as I have never experienced using Visual Studio in offline mode. Regarding the Second part about setting up local Nuget Server, I would say it's moderately easy to do following the documentations, I had done it once in one of my previous organisations where we had some internal company specific nuget packages.

I have both Visual Studio 2019 and 2022 installed on my development machine.
For my current development efforts, which is military simulations development, I find VS 2019 with .NET Framework 4.6 works just fine.
With the little I have done with Visual Studio 2022 I have yet to see any problems. But, then again I have not used it extensively.
Since you appear to be working in the same technical areas that I am in terms of the needed technologies, I don't see any reason for you to upgrade to Visual Studio 2022 unless you want the latest features and want to work with .NET Core 6.x and above

We use VS2019 and VS2022 on VMs running on a system that is firewalled off from just about everything. For NuGet packages we download them and transfer them to a server that is inside the firewall. The NuGet packages are in a folder that is shared to the VMs. It's irritating to update VS and the NuGet packages, but it works.

I've not used VS2022 offline so I can't comment on whether it works fine or not.
If you want to use .Net6+ then you need to use VS2022. It is an improvement over VS2019, especially with Git.
As for Nuget, you don't need a dedicated "Nuget application server" as such, you can just use a regular folder as a Nuget package source, either on the same machine or a shared network drive. VS2019/20 is happy to find and install packages from a plain windows folder. You just wont get some of the extra meta data that a Nuget server adds.

I tried with all VS, complete offline system in home for learning purpose, after VS2015 all fail here and there, if requirement is just .Net framework 4.7, you can stick what is working for you.

Thanks to all for your experiences and opinions.
The results are:
1) VS 2022 off-line -- I'll have to experiment with VS 2022 to see how it behaves off-line for myself. The comments here have been a mixed bag, seemingly depending on which mode the individual is used to; very online folks find offline a pain whereas those not using online packages / usually offline find it better than 2019.
2) .NET vs .NET Framework -- very much based on project domain. We prefer to use stay close to current versions but ... I'll just have to see.
3) NuGet off-line -- this is pretty easy, either using GitSomething as the local server or just stashing the downloaded packages in a directory and point to that. Making sure I get all the packages I want the first time is going to be the key here.
Thanks again!

I'm not sure how realistic this would be, given the fuzzy nature of AI, but optimization is sometimes a fuzzy game as well.
I don't really know a lot about what we call AI, but it seems to me if you could use it for code *synthesis* you could also use it to optimize program code output during compilation.
AI should be able to in essence, see higher level patterns in code, maybe for example, automatically deinlining repeated uses of code in a higher level than would otherwise be possible, performing some degree of post factoring.
It only just occurred to me today, so I haven't kicked it around a lot, but considering what google is doing with "fuzzing" and such, I don't think this is totally out of hand to consider.

Having seen some of the code that ChatGPT created and that gets posted in QA, I wouldn't trust an app optimised by it for anything important.
And "important" here means "coming within 100 feet of me or my computer"

What it spits out is really apalling sometimes, other times not too bad but I think you are better off googling

And the problem is that the people using it don't know the difference - they just hammer it into the app and walk away ...

Ever since the advent of the Web it's become common (and largely acceptable) practice to cut'n paste, which is fine if you understand the code - I used to carry several, very large heavy books around for years until I knew and understood them inside out, buy more and repeat the process.

Meh, it's fine if what it is doing is immediately verifiable.
