Whats the best solution for remote controlling Gnome linux workstation from macOS on a local network? @linux
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 mean its unconventional, but moonlight + sunshine
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.
@ulkesh thanks! i totally forgot about nomachine - I’m seeking something as feature rich and solid as Microsoft Remote Desktop but to use mainly for remote or remote virtual linux instances - in hopes to reduce my windows machines.
RDP works so well > I can take a teams call/video + screen share from a remote machine… - maybe too much to ask but i want it like that in linux ;D@ulkesh I’m using noMachine now. it’s working.
I think i will experiment with deConf edit like back in the day to use VNC and see how that goes. - I wonder though, will anything be a good as RDP?
the rendering quality of the display seems much better. 20 year Mac veteran. I love linux though. Noticed my 100% linux to linux environments always work really well but in this case I want to reduce my Windows / Windows server footprint to support open source and driving using macOS mosty
