... and installed Linux Mint. Because Cinnamon looks a lot cleaner than GNOME. It went okay. I got a desktop, logged in, used the familiar Debian tools to install some things, and started to get comfortable.
Then I decided I wanted to use the desktop remotely from my Mac. (My 2005 $10 keyboard and mouse suck, and the monitor isn't conveniently placed.)
RDP or VNC?

I started with RDP, because some random Redditor said it performs better than VNC. BEGIN SUBRANT Somewhere between 99 and 100% of the information on the Internet about configuring Linux is wrong. It might have been right for the author's system on that particular day, but because every part of the ecosystem is in flux and there are 74.8 different ways to do everything, including things that should never have to be looked at.
