AMD does not (in most cases) support the Thunderbolt protocol and no adapters exist to convert thunderbolt 2 to simpler display port (afaik).
Here, (on the Dell laptop) I used a virtual display driver + the Sunshine app to “stream” the display data to the old MacBook Pro.
On the MacBook Pro, I used the Moonlight app to receive that stream and output it to the Thunderbolt Display via the Thunderbolt port. The Thunderbolt Display even keeps the MacBook Pro charged with its built in MagSafe charger.
And only one cable to the Dell for everything. (I connected the Ethernet cable to the dock after taking this picture)
Latency is absolutely nill and feels like a native display!
