Advice around setting up two laptops, one as server (slrpnk.net)

So I have two laptops. Both run Linux Mint.

I need Laptop 1 to work with.

Laptop 2 is an unrepairable POS that starts having a little trouble with keyboard and hinges but works nicely otherwise and has a nice large 1TB disc and a GPU. I want to bury L2 in a shelf(*) and save videos and music on it to access from L1.

I would also like to play with Stable Diffusion on L2, accessing it from L1. Can I do that?

Edit: At some point I want to have my website served from L2 as well but I guess that can be a future project.

(*) Bonus points for ideas about how to have L2 do other useful things when I don't use it and install it as grow tent heating instead of just have it sit in a corner.

Oh, yes, SSH should be enough. I think I assumed a need for a GUI since you mentioned it had a GPU.

I mentioned the GPU because of Stable Diffusion - ah only now I understand what RDP means. (It shows that I live in the weird wastelands of 'will try to do anything with a computer' and 'out of the loop peasant hippy'). I guess that might be neat to have.
