I install KDE Plasma on laptops I intend to use as a server. If the PC is easily reachable you can use the GUI to quickly manage files or use the terminal. Disable search indexing if you install GNOME or Plasma. I never used Debian but I assume the base system is as clean as it can be.

PC receives 192.168.1.37

Model is Uptech SW-116, it has “Uplink” port and 16 LAN ports. It also uses external power.

WAN and LAN1 ports on router 1 is used. LAN3,4,5,6 and Uplink ports are connected on the switch. (model is Uptech SW-116) Uplink is connected to LAN1 on router 1. Other connections go to wall. I disconnected other routers, problem persists.

First router has DHCP enabled with range 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.80. Second one has “DHCP Relay” enabled with relay server set to 192.168.1.2. Third router has DHCP disabled.

2nd router is used as a wireless AP, getting rid of 3rd router is exactly what I am trying to do.

FYI, Plasma Bigscreen is not ported to Plasma 6.

For the Steam library I suppose?

I meant RAM deduplication. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=linux+same+page+merging&t=fpas&ia=web

For on disk deduplication, Steam supports user-specified locations for installing games and dependencies like Steam Linux Runtime. 2 users can theoretically use the same Steam library at the same time. To evade issues, auto updates should be disabled in the Steam clients. Steam doesn’t support completely disabling updates afaik, the best is setting update period to 3.00-4.00 AM. DXVK cache files must be located outside the Steam library folder. Otherwise if 2 people play the same game with Proton at the same time, cache files may be corrupted. (the default is the folder with game exe) Info on changing cache file location: link

I tried to do sth similar with limited success using Steam remote play. This is great but I have 2 questions:

• Did you look into memory deduplication?
• Is client software sunshine or custom software?
