I have a laptop and a desktop
Two computers have Ubuntu 16.04 and connected through Ethernet cable, but two are offline, so no internet.
I wanna make the laptop as the main computer and I want to use the desktop by the laptop. Is is possible to control the desktop by using the laptop?
I am not sure if I could use SSH in terminal..
Could you guys explain me if there is ways?
or please give a hint or keyword so I can find a way.
Usually I use "ssh -X"
Thank you

If you question is about the network, your answer is 'Yes'. You can set static IP on both your laptop and your PC. To do so, use
network-manager
:e.g. set
192.168.1.1
for the PC and192.168.1.2
for laptop.Then you can use any network remote connection tool to access PC from laptop of vice versa. For example: SSH, AnyDesk, VNC Viewer, etc.
