Hey everyone! I have a laptop running Ubuntu but it's not equipped with a great GPU. I also have a Windows PC that has an amazing GPU. Is there a way to connect my laptop to the PC wirelessly so that I can leverage the GPU power from my desktop as if it were installed in my laptop? Thanks for your help!

You might want to check out apps like Parsec or Moonlight for game streaming, as these can utilize your PC's GPU for rendering. For general tasks, Windows Remote Desktop or VNC are options, but they might not fully utilize the GPU. If you’re looking for something more advanced, consider setting up a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), but be aware it's more complex. Each of these methods has its pros and cons, so experimenting to find what works for you would be best.
Unfortunately, using a remote connection like VNC won't allow you to directly use the GPU for intensive tasks. You'll essentially just be controlling your desktop remotely, which could introduce some latency. It's not the ideal solution if you're looking for GPU performance.
Thanks for the tips! I'm definitely going to try Moonlight for streaming games. I also heard that SSH could help for programming, but I’m not too familiar with it.
