I've been trying to research a concept but I'm unsure what its actually called and was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction, or give me a very basic rundown on how it works and what its called. I'm probably using the wrong terms to describe it here.
Is there such a concept as taking a low power laptop or a desktop and installing a bare/thin OS (like a hypervisor?) on it that would then allow you to PXE boot or "stream" another OS to it? The "streamed" OS would be a virtual machine running on a VM server? For my use case, I would like to take an old Chromebook and turn it into a thin client that can access one of my many VMs that I curently run on my KVM server (Win10, Win7, etc). This is in a home environment.
I know I could do a Chrome Remote Desktop session as I've read about that, and I have used VNC and RDC before but is there something better that would give a near native feel, but keep all the heavy processing on the VM itself, or does this kind of concept always come down to basic remote desktop or VNC technologies?
