Remember x2vnc and win2vnc? What can I use now? [possibly solved]
Remember x2vnc and win2vnc? What can I use now? [possibly solved]
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.
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.
I want to sit at my windows machine with it's three monitors and move my mouse to a fourth monitor of a Linux machine. x2vnc was great for controlling multiple *nix boxes and win2vnc did exactly what I want to do now but it hasn't been updated for 5 years.
I don't know if it's still relevant, but I used to use Synergy to do this.
There's also deskhop which is essentially a pure hardware solution similar to Synergy (helpful when you cannot install software on a machine or if they are on different networks). You can build your own or purchase parts/pre-built deskhops from elecrow.
