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.

Personally, I use x2go to graphically access my servers remotely. It redirects X protocol over ssh and it also short circuits many of the X round trips making it much more responsive than bare X-windows. It also supports sound, remote printing, and file transfers.
