    Please refer https://askubuntu.com/help/on-topic, Ubuntu and official flavors of Ubuntu (https://ubuntu.com/download/flavours) are on-topic on this site. The on-topic link provides alternate SE sites for non-Ubuntu OSes. The laptop part of your question is off-topic (not Ubuntu or flavor); so the on-topic desktop PC just has to use viewing software compatible with whatever you decide to use on your off-topic laptop; the most important part is off-topic here, SE Unix & Linux allows both OSes – guiverc Aug 13 '21 at 11:33

    Try ssh -X <ip.address.of.laptop> cheese. Replace cheese with the appropriate video capture software you have in the Elementary OS laptop. This approach only uses ssh and does not use any video software in the Ubuntu desktop PC. I am voting to close this question as off-topic. See Connect two computers with SSH in a home LAN for how to set up ssh. – user68186 Aug 13 '21 at 12:28
