My use case is pretty unusual, but I don't think that should matter. I'm looking to use my laptop to remote into my gaming desktop so I can run LLLMs from my couch. My ideal is free and open source, but I'd consider something proprietary or costing a one time fee. My only deal breakers are ongoing subscriptions and anything that sends data through their servers.

For remote gaming Steam is pretty good. I don't know if that works on Linux.
For non-gaming, I just use VNC.
Hmm. That would be cool to try to run some of my more performance intensive games on my laptop. I'm still on Windows for now but I'll to switch to Linux when Microsoft's bullshit becomes too unbearable, which will probably sooner rather than later based on recent events. I'll look into VNC for my needs.
If you are on Windows, Remote Desktop is installed by default. VNC is pretty good, too.
Do you know if Remote Desktop sends data to Microsoft? That's my main concern. I don't want to add even more spyware to my system.
As far as I know, no. RDP is a standardized protocol so there is a lot of documentation out there. It is encrypted but since I assume this is all on your own local network that most likely isn't a huge concern for you.
