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

Seconding Moonlight (client)/Sunshine (host) for in-home remote play.

I use it to couch play PC games from my beastie desktop onto my TV, and also my iPad. It works damn near flawlessly and allows for full remote input.

Much less laggy and finicky than Steam remote play/Steam link from my experience as well.
