From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi there! I'm curently using Pop OS linux as my daily machine to work with. Though sometimes I need to access my Mac Mini M1 and I'm looking on some good way to have remote access to my Mac without getting of my Linux workflow. Both my machines are on same LAN and connected via gigabit connection. I have tried using RustDesk though most issue comes from image quality (I have 4K screen). If you got any sugestion it would be great.

TeamViewer. I know it's proprietary but it works well. Just make sure that on Linux you're using X11, not Wayland as the last time I used it, TeamViewer only supported X11.

TeamViewer was breeched several times resulting in remote hacker access to customer machines and all their data. Rather than issuing a mea culpa and advising their customers to immediately change their passwords, the company vehemently denied that their systems had been breached and actually blamed their customers for reusing passwords.

It took 3 years for these assholes to finally acknowledge that the problem had been caused by them, not their customers.

Trusting TeamViewer to protect your data and tell you the truth if they are hacked is a mistake.
