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 or if they are on different networks). You can build your own or purchase parts/pre-built deskhops from elecrow.
