Will raspberry pi? 4? work? remote on bluetooth or wi fi? to a compuer in another room? thanks
If I understand your question correctly, yes it will. Different ways of accomplishing it.
1 - SSH to the Pi from your other computer in another room. Works great.
2 - If you need a Pi 4 desktop on that other computer, you can use VNC to do that. (I like NoMachine, which is free for personal use and it works great.)
Your Pi will need to be running, of course. It will need a network connection. I tend to run my Pi systems “headless” with no monitor or keyboard, and I prefer to run them on a wired ethernet connection. But, WiFi will work fine. I expect Bluetooth would too, but I’ve not tried that.
One thing I find helpful is to put an HDMI dummy on the Pi to make it think it has a monitor. I can then set the screen dimensions to be nice and big, and it remembers on every bootup. (I use?, which work great and they’re cheap.)
