Is there any way to remote-desktop over a wired connection? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have a desktop computer (running windows) and a chromebook (running xubuntu), and I'm looking to do this so I can use the desktop's processing power to play games in bed

P.S. Some latency is fine, most games I want to play aren't real-time anyways

If all you are doing is playing games, then steam remote play will work fine. Remmina is a great rdp tool if you're looking for a full desktop experience

Thats my setup (steam for gaming, remmina for everything else) and if you connect your monitor directly to the gaming machine, the latency is even good enough for FPSs
