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.

oh. i don't have mint, so i don't know the specifics, but usually you would install tigervnc (or tightvnc), set up a password, allow users, set up a per user startup file (containing a desktop environment or window manager to start) and start the systemd service (maybe you have to create a textfile service definition if mint didn't install one automatically).
Thanks. I've had some problems with TigerVNC. Do you know any good guide on setting it up?
What problems do you have ? From the top of my head it is something like this :
Install the tigervnc-standalone-server deb package on your server
ssh in your server as your user and type :
vncpasswdContinue and type :
vncserverOn your client connect via a vnc viewer software
This https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/TigerVNC doesn't read like an easy howto but could be useful.
Cool. I'll try that tonight.
