The thing is like this: I have a windows laptop I use for work, and a Linux desktop machine. I have a single screen keyboard etc. and I switch between the two using a docking station. But, I wonder if there is a way for me to “cut the middle man” and just plug/unplug my linux machine.

I guess I can use a remote desktop solution approach on my laptop, but I wonder if there is a more “extreme” solution. Mostly since I have only one Ethernet port in my home office.

    Maybe I’m missing something but why can’t you use your computer as a computer?

      There’s a work computer and a home computer. I don’t want my work files ending up on my own computer (for confidentiality reasons) and I don’t want my porn viruses ending up on my work laptop.
