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.

Check out RustDesk.

I like the simplicity of x11vnc, or if you're on Wayland, wayvnc.

Via web with novnc.

No machine? I assume there's a mac client.

I’m sorry, and I know everyone recommends it, but RustDesk is not fully baked. Every time I have tried it, I consistently have issues with the Mac client.

I’m also looking for a good, reliable, and fast Remote Desktop solution between my Mac and my Linux rig. It used to be TeamViewer, then they got to be greedy. Then it was Chrome Remote Desktop, but it doesn’t work well on Arch (for me, anyway) and I’ve de-Googled myself as much as I’m able. Then I tried RustDesk and I had nothing but issues.

I may go back to NoMachine. It wasn’t perfect, but it at least worked most of the time.

Rustdesk, Anydesk, TeamViewer or VNC.

@abraham_linksys seriously? lol thanks - I've used most of the solutions recommended some not, i've done my share of searching - just looking for input / I have frequent Microsoft remote desktop use and want something as solid and feature rich thats not Microsoft & to use with linux and mac / in hopes to use RDP and windows remote systems less…
