  1. Where was I? Right. I started with RDP. I could not find reliable info on how to connect to an RDP server from MacOS, nor whether it's possible, so I didn't get far.

    So I switched to VNC. I used VNC 20 years ago. MacOS supports it. Let's see what's changed. I looked at RealVNC, tightVNC, and tigerVNC. RealVNC is apparently paid now. tightVNC is Windows first now(!) and only old versions support Linux. That leaves tigerVNC.

  3. @eddyizm If you're using X11 (rather than Wayland) there are several choices, such as #realvnc, #tigervnc, and #tightvnc. See github.com/gitbls/RpiVNCHowTo for one way to install tiger/tight with X11 to enable virtual desktops. With Wayland the choices are a bit more limited, and I can't offer any suggestions there.
