Got a new PC handed down to me. And now have my old one collecting dust. It has a dedicated GPU (GTX 1060 6GB VRAM) i guess the most obvious thing would be an AI model or maybe jellyfin (which is currently running on a raspi 5 just fine for), but was wondering if you maybe had other suggestions?

Yea, you are probably right. Just wanted to ask before I hand it down myself, in case I missed some really cool use case for it.

My Jellyfin is also very basic with everything pre transcoded as I don't even have/need >1080p.

So it just looks like a window on my main PC and this way I have ram on my new PC

This sounds really cool. Does that actually work, did you do a comparison? I would have expected that most RAM usage comes from rendering the frame and not sending it, or does waypipe somehow outsource that as well?

    I haven't tested yet, it's something I plan to do this or next week.

    From what I understand, waypipe should use minimal ram, all it basically does is forwarding an image, sound and inputs, all the heavy lifting is done on the server side where the application actually runs.
