How can I screen share/VNC to a Linux system (Ubuntu 16.04) from my MAC (10.11)?
I'd like to use screen sharing/I'd like to VNC to a Linux OS desktop from my Mac (so I'd like to view the Linux desktop on the screen of my Mac). Mac OS version: OS X El Capitan, 10.11.15A2301. Ubuntu version: 16.04.5 LTS. I have my Mac configured to accept VNC connections by enabling file sharing, remote login and remote management and I use it to VNC to other Mac systems but I'd like to VNC to a Linux system this time. I'm assuming I'd have to use some kind of sudo apt install command to install something and enable this functionality?
