[OUTDATED] Install and Configure Deskflow (linux)
This video is part of my blog article: https://insights.ditatompel.com/en/tu...
IMPORTANT: The build process has been changed since this video was uploaded. For Linux users, their latest release already includes packages for Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE. Check on their release page at https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/...
For Arch Linux, it's already on EXTRA repository, so you can easily install using `pacman -S deskflow`. InKWEHdible!
Official Deskflow repository: https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow
Unlike RDP or VNC, which display the remote desktop display on our PC/laptop; Deskflow does not display anything from the remote desktop at all. If simplified, Deskflow only records and forwards mouse, keyboard, and clipboard input to another computer (client). So Deskflow is effective if the remote desktop (client) has a monitor, and it’s close by (as if you have multiple monitors, but from different PCs).
Note: When this video is recorded, Deskflow is not yet available in the package manager for all Linux distributions.
