You could call it that. The most direct analogy is RDP, or even a kvm. It’s a remote session to another machine, but under the hood it’s using the fast and efficient video codecs, h264 or hevc. It’s also good about piping audio from the remote machine to whatever you’re using locally.

I’m also hoping to dump windows. I spent a week trying to get my usb interface working with guitar rig running in wine bottles. I was getting nowhere with it just fell back to using the windows box remotely.

I’m in a similar situation: I have to keep a windows box around for specific audio tools and interfaces. A nice thing I’ve discovered is Sunshine (lizardbyte) and Moonlight. Sunshine is the desktop streamer that runs on the windows box, Moonlight is the client you run on the linux laptop (or android or whatever) to connect to Sunshine. I find it to be a nice solution for keeping the windows box easily accessible from my main displays/kb/mouse which are always tethered to the linux laptop. Thia streaming setup feels a lot more natural than RDP, and it’s especially useful if you need to handle any video on the windows box. The main use case is video games, so there is that too.

Yep, same. I would add that if you get a compatible usb sata enclosure and run the OS off that the performance improvement is tangible, but i still felt it wasnt worth running nextcloud this way. Even on a pentium nuc i feel this just barely put nextcloud over the acceptable threshold.
