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.
There's also deskhop which is essentially a pure hardware solution similar to Synergy (helpful when you cannot install software on a machine). You can build your own or purchase parts/pre-built deskhops from elecrow.

You're not giving specifics, but both KDE and Gnome have their own RDP solutions built-in.
If using another DE, just check for solutions as there are many generic ones. I'd generally be looking for RDP solutions over CNC because of Wayland compatibility.aybe NoMachine is interesting to you.
If you want to forward just single windows, look into XWayland and SSH forwarding X apps.
If you're strictly speaking about console access, then SSH.

symless.comYes, that looks like it. Account? WTF?
edit: dingdingding! This is the thing. it's called deskflow in apt
Thanks, drspod
Yea that's their new project they just "started funding". Synergy used to be open source and it went closed source 10? 15? years ago.
Since then several forks have existed. Most notably github.com/debauchee/barrier which died a few years ago and was forked to github.com/input-leap/input-le⦠which while getting plenty of updates, and merges from the other project.. never released a version for years. I think at that point synergy felt sorry for them and so they changed their repo name from synergy to deskflow github.com/deskflow/deskflow and now they have their open source version lol
I have to assume usage got so stagnant when close sourcing it (it's so insanely niche software, is it not?) that they felt the need to bring it alive again.
