REMOTE DESKTOPSWindows in every room
Use tiny clients behind monitors to open Windows or Linux virtual desktops hosted on a central server. Planned capability; compatible hardware and licensing required.
See how it works ↗REAL APPLICATIONS
What if one server could power a whole home of computers?
Access a Windows desktop from small clients in different rooms, run your own media library and smart-home services, and put hardware you already own to work. These are goals for the platform, not claims that every feature is ready today.
Product concept · Active development
ONE OF THE BIG IDEAS
A real Windows desktop, even from a tiny box behind your monitor.
Your main SamyStackOS server would host a Windows virtual machine. A lightweight thin client at another desk would connect to it over your home network, so the screen, keyboard and mouse behave like a normal PC while the main computer does the heavy lifting.
Picture an office desk, a homework station and a workshop screen—all connected to central computing resources, with compatible clients chosen for each location. Access to separate or simultaneous Windows sessions requires suitable operating-system licensing and configuration.
In development: This describes the intended desktop-access experience, not a working feature you can install today.
PRACTICAL PROJECTS
A platform for the work you actually want to do.
Use cases are goals for compatible hardware and applications, not a guarantee that every feature is implemented today.
REMOTE DESKTOPS
MEDIAPersonal streaming library
Host a local movie or music server, access collections across your devices and schedule supporting services.
SMART HOMELocal automation
Run a supported automation server and connect ESP32 sensors, buttons and relay controls.
DEVELOPMENTTest environments
Run Linux VMs, containerized applications, staging services and isolated experiments on compatible hosts.
Repurpose old phones
Divide compatible photo, file and batch-processing jobs among Android workers and other eligible devices.
Explore topic ↗Private network tools
Host DNS, service monitoring, gateways, local dashboards and dedicated network-management services.
STORAGEBackups & file services
Pool appropriate storage resources, serve shared files and plan versioned backup and recovery workflows.
CAMERA SYSTEMSLocal camera recording
Use compatible cameras and edge gateways with a storage-backed local video service.
Home audio infrastructure
Use a Raspberry Pi or supported embedded endpoint for a radio player, local control panel or distributed audio service.
Experiment with hardware
Build device-specific integrations that connect sensors and controls to a central service safely.
FROM IDEA TO SERVICE
The goal is control without extra complexity.
A management console should make it easy to see which node runs a service, what resources it uses and how to restore it.
Pick your equipment. Deploy intentionally.
- Choose a suitable host for the job
- Keep data local when practical
- See usage across multiple machines
- Monitor network and power health
- Move or retry only supported workloads
