Hi all;
I have a Fedora 33 laptop. I also have a mac running OSX 10.15
I want to run firefox on the mac but display it on the Fedora laptop.
Your options include X11, RDP (Microsoft Remote Desktop), and RFB (VNC).
There might be ways to use SPICE, but I have no experience with that.
At one time you could build Firefox and other GUI apps with X11 on macOS
(using, e.g., macports).
Do you plan to install Fedora on the Mac? I have used the Oracle VirtualBox
RDP, not sure if they have SPICE (https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/13042 from
6 years ago).
If you can use Firefox in MacOS, Apple Remote Desktop uses RFB, but
not all RFB clients support Apple's choice of encryption. It has been
nearly a year since I last used VNC with a Mac running El Capitan (10.11)
from a Windows 10 PC, using TigerVNC. Microsoft has RDP for macOS,
but it has been several years since I used it. My use case was mostly
looking into problem reports for GUI apps running on macOS and
verifying that updates were working, so I was able to use a reduced color
model and could tolerate slow responses.
Is there a way to do this with tunneling?
Yes. I used ssh tunnels -- for the past several years have been working
remotely using a Cisco VPN.
