If you have another windows pc, you can use the built-in remote desktop. Or, from Linux you can install a Microsoft rdp compatible client like remmina. (Edit: If using Windows Pro on the target machine, for either of these options)

Keep in mind both options require enabling remote control from Windows settings. It's off by default if I recall right.
Seconding Remmina, very good software
Back when the Steam link was first released you could add notepad as a non-Steam game and then minimize it to get full desktop. I worked like that for an entire summer, it was great! Even with both devices on wifi
Yeah. This is what I’m currently having some weird issues with. Controller input is iffy in some non steam games and in general some windows if highlighted will effectively freeze the device and won’t allow input. It’s not always but has happened enough for me to look for a new solution.
Are you sure that's not an artifact of the powerline data? I use RDP over a wireless bridge to do something similar and some days it's 10/10 perfect, others it's dogshit/10.
Your main issue with that setup will be the power line adapter. A direct connected 1Gb(2.5gb-10gb would be better) connection, QoS’d at a switch level-not at the router-will provide the best performance.
Passed that, if you’re using windows RDP will do what you’re looking for well- but QoS will be very important.
Thankfully I work in networking and have a few tools. I have a managed switch I could set something up for. Not sure on how the application of this would look but I’ll deep dive it a bit today 💜
What kind of managed switch? I’m also in networking and if you want to bounce some ideas or need help tinkering shoot me a DM, this kinda stuff is very fun
Cheap netgear 8 port guy. Lemme find the model #. The software UI seemed very intuitive the one time I went in there to do a few VLAN things.
Well shit. Amazon doesn’t sell it anymore and I’m away from the house lol. If I remember I’ll bug ya when I get home. The laws of ADHD denote I’ll forget though.
Another homelabber checking in: u got the name of the neat managed switch already or am I annoying too early? :3
Lmao. You caught me with my pants down. I’m Poopin. I’ll edit the post and add the name in a few 😆
Edit: Netgear S350
^^
Sry for disturbing this sacred doing! Thx though :D
Parsec is pretty slick imo.
What is your use case?
Gaming? Moonlight + sunshine
Management between different OS? TeamViewer in LAN mode.
Management between windows? Remote desktop if your windows version allows it.
I've been using Rustdesk
Chrome Remote Desktop just werks
