So I heard about thin clients and all, but what is a solution where my gaming PC can be in another room and I will be sitting on the couch with a very thin laptop playing GTA V or something at high settings? Should I use a thin client?

It's called steam in-home streaming. If you want to play out of your house, use hamachi and follow this reddit guide

You can add notepad or your internet browser as a steam game, and then alt-tab

When you start a certain app as mentioned by Fgtfv567, then alt-tab, you will be shown the entire desktop.

 

If you must insist on viewing your entire desktop without doing anything extra, I have some suggestions, but none of them are designed for fast-paced gaming.

Oh, you could try chrome remote desktop, I use it on my phone to check downloads

Do you know what VDI is? if you do, then yes it is possible to use a thin client.

 

Remote desktop will not work as it does not support 3D acceleration. 

 

Look, this type of thing requires some serious infastructure

open source nvidia gamestream client. Works on pretty much everything: android, ios, ubuntu, chromebook, osx, windows. You can even run it on a work computer without installing it, and configure it to stream out of your home network.
