Hey guys. I have a steam link I’ve used for quite some time. But I’m wanting to figure out a solution that is similar but grants full PC control. I have my main PC hardwired and a steam link and monitor out in my garage I’m routing to with a power line adapter that works pretty great. But it has a lot of issues when minimizing steam to use as a full PC. I have a mini pc N100 I planned on using as a router. But would be happy to swap to use for this if possible.
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)
Seconding Remmina, very good software
Thirding, very capable and easy to use.
Keep in mind both options require enabling remote control from Windows settings. It’s off by default if I recall right.
I’m pretty sure the serving PC needs to be Windows Professional, not Windows Home, so that might not work.
Ah crap, yeah, I forgot about that, you’re right.
