Plus an important warning about your connection

Access your PCs from anywhere with REMOTE DESKTOPS (Linux, Mac and Windows)

I have Linux Mint installed on a test machine at home that I use to play around with Linux in general, but I use a Windows 10 machine as my main daily driver. I wanted a convenient way to connect to my Linux Mint machine from Windows or Mac without having to install all sorts of packages, etc.

If you surf the internet, you will come across articles about installing XRDP, x11VNC, etc., etc. This all sounded a bit too complicated for me, especially since Linux Mint has built-in desktop sharing capabilities.

Warning: Please note that the method I describe below will disable encryption for the remote connection.
