I have some desktops (the tower kind) lying around and I’m wondering if there’s a way that I can connect them all to one display and combine their computational power or at least make them all accessible in one place. I want to get into server hosting but only have one monitor. They’re currently running LMDE.

Any ideas?

    You can install a Proxmox virtualisation cluster, a popular (the most popular?) option for self-hosting services. All nodes in the cluster are visible in a single web interface. For additional system coordination, you can set up High Availability and clustered file systems that the nodes can share.

      Do I need to have elevated network permissions to do that? I don’t have admin access on my WiFi network and it is shared with a lot of people.

          There are several ways around it. If you are self hosting for a small trusted group, or just yourself, you can use Tailscale.
