Is it possible to set up a shortcut in Cinnamon that runs that command, and otherwise is like a normal app in the app menu?

I did it last week. Needed to quickly run VS Code from my desktop on my Pi semi-dumb-terminal in the garage to recompile some code with Platform IO. "ssh -X desktop code" and done. And way faster than recompiling on the pi.

I wonder if that would be a good way of turning something like that shitty Microsoft computer from the MattKC video I posted into a real monitor or if it would be too laggy.

Thin clients have been a thing for... well, 30 years. Originally direct X11, then some custom protocols, now still X11 or VNC or RDP depending on your needs. 3d accel still requires more custom solutions but the simple solutions works well for most things.

It's a shell command, but you could stuff it into an desktop icon easily enough and I believe there's a menu editor for cinnamon... As I said, it been a while since I did it so you'd need to google the incantations (you also need to set it up on the server end) but it shouldn't be a major job.

There's waypipe to do that, but I don't use wayland, so I have no idea how well it works.

Tiling Window Manager
. Tried lxqt/hyprland with a global float rule when it got wayland support but it's still terrible and you have to write to a seperate hyprland config that doesn't automatically refresh. Maybe once wayland actually gets removed from RedHats pajewt fingers ill move back, but like thats ever going to happen.NO! We absolutely MUST fragment the already small amount of volunteer programers to become even more fragmented so no work gets done outside of corporations forcing them to finally work on a common goal!
Anyways, going back to my x11 multimonitor spergout, turns out enabling tearfree actually freed my tearing issues, who would have thought! Multimonitor with different refresh rates has been fixed for X11 for almost 4 years i guess. If only I knew this when AsyncFlipSecondary was released.

TearFree doesn't work right on Intel graphics (for me), because it works as long as you don't play any videos full-screen and then exit full screen.
Exiting full screen video playback brings back screen tearing.

Should I get mx Linux from windows 10. I want the best distro. It's either between Debian or mx.

Doesn't waypipe just splurge out compressed video? Hardly appropriate for a graphics package.

MX. It has a more user friendly install and comes with a bunch of tools ootb that a newbie would find useful.

+ 1 for MX. Literally just better Debian with no(t as much) systemd dogshit.

Is Mint still the best distro for people coming from Windows? There's only four months left until support for Windows 10 ends, so I figure I should get ready for the switch soon.

I went to https://on.quad9.net/ and it said I wasn't using quad9, though I entered the IP address listed into the Firefox preferences.

Looks to me like their web site is made by AI, I wouldn't be sure the distro itself isn't either.
Don't they use discord and have some anime girl as the default wallpaper? I remember wanting to try wayland out, friend recommended me hyprland and it completely turned me away. On a usability note: Why does everything nowadays have to move around and make sounds?? DWM is still the best WM from a usability perspective, none of that obnoxious chrome than only gets in your way!
Not sure about "best" as that is going to be individual, but it's what I usually recommend and I've heard no complaints. Although one guy chose to jump straight into gentoo and loves it LOL! Good thing about the linuxes is that you can easily try a live boot USB and play around for a bit before installing (or choosing a different distro).

Huh. Apparently I'm not using quad9 either, even though I changed my IPv4 properties months ago. That's a bit concerning. Thought it might have been my VPN, but turning it off didn't fix the issue. Good thing Proton has a DNS included.

Firefox is using your system DNS, which is presumably set by your router. You can change that in the router settings.
I generally don't like using the browser's own DNS settings. It breaks shit in unpredictable ways and completely bypasses my own private DNS server.

Yes, but you shouldn't rely on that exclusively.
