Remember x2vnc and win2vnc? What can I use now? [possibly solved] (sh.itjust.works)

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.

Right. From what I'm reading, those tools were simply VNC clients, so whichever method you choose above should work to serve the session, and you just need to match the protocol for your windows client. Tons of great RDP clients out there for the windows side.

Wait... so any RDP can just go across monitor boundaries like x2vnc used to? That would explain why development stopped. Do you know how I would make that happen? They used to have to make a 1px wide window at the edge of the screen that would magically transport the cursor to the other session. If you don't immediately know, it's cool I'll look into it.
