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.

Wow, y’all are overcomplicating this.

Gnome has native VNC support. On your Linux machine go to Sharing, enable Remote Desktop, set a username and password.

On your Mac, use any VNC client you like, they’re all over the App Store, and connect by IP address to your Linux machine with the username and password from settings.

Although you can install more software, you don’t have to.
