Basically title. I want to control a bare metal debian machine on a separate monitor (that always has this debian machine) from my windows gaming machine.

Edit: it’s called Synergy and the apt package is called deskflow. I’ll try it later and see if I can make it work.

        Okay, so I just found a simple post with steps, so this is the basic setup.

        Then you just find an RDP client on Windows that you like, move it to the monitor you want it on, and run it in fullscreen mode. Then you have a full desktop view on one of your monitors that is your remote Gnome desktop.

          Thank you for your research but that’s just regular RDP, /u/drspod told me the thing I’m actually looking for and it’s called Synergy (deskflow is the FOSS component in apt). So, solved - until I can’t make it work ;)
