For very simple tasks you can usually blindly log in and run commands. I've done this with very simple tasks, e.g., rebooting or bringing up a network interface. It's maybe not the smartest, but basically, just type root, the root password, and dhclient eth0 or whatever magic you need. No display required, unless you make a typo...
In your specific case, you could have a shell script that stops VMs and disables passthrough, so you just log in and invoke that script. Bonus points if you create a dedicated user with that script set as their shell (or just put in the appropriate dot rc file).

EulerOS, a Linux distro, was certified UNIX.
But OS X, macOS, and at least one Linux distro are/were UNIX certified.
The network gear I manage is only accessible via VPN, or from a trusted internal network...
...and by the gear I manage, I mean my home network (a router and a few managed switches and access points). If a doofus like me can set it up for my home, I'd think that actual companies would be able to figure it out, too.
IIRC Torvalds uses Fedora.
(Debian for me.)
Turned my shitty Intel Atom 32-bit laptop with just 1GB of RAM into a useful lightweight workstation
Remote backup server would be my suggestion.
Configure it with a VPN to talk to your home network and set it up at a trusted friend's or family's place.
I do this with a raspberry pi and an external HDD that takes daily/weekly/monthly snapshots, with daily rsync. Works nicely for me.
I'm guessing it's because the developers either have a different speciality that they focus on, are employed to support specific hardware, or both.
Just use your $200+ Fluke to check the batteries, problem solved.

It's maybe not that bad for a "normal" person, but Bill Nye was a real hero to a lot of young folks, be they aspiring STEM types, science enthusiasts, or just curious people. So to see him sell out
abandoning scientific integrity for a quick buck
was pretty disheartening.
