Hi, I am still very new to Linux.
I am just messing around with it.
I was wondering if anyone knew how to get Debian to boot and run over a network.
Let me be clear, I am not trying to do a network installation.
The idea is to have any system on my local network be able to boot into Debian 12 over the network and run apps etc. as if it were booting into a local drive.
I feel like I would have to use TFTP and PXE boot server, but I am not sure where to go from there. This will be on a Wireless Local Area Network of course.
I also believe that this has been solved already.
I am just not sure what topic to look for because when I search I get results related to installing over a network or Remote Desktop.
I would be using an old laptop as the TFTP/PXE and file server. It's has 4 GB of RAM 64GB SSD, a dual core Celeron processor, running Debian 12.
The client system will have 16 GB or RAM and a 12th gen i7 processor.
