Sorry, I meant xrdp --- xrdp can be used with a vnc viewer, or rdesktop or
xfreerdp.

I'm not sure if that's easier --- and why shouldn't I use the second monitor
which I have around anyway.

I wouldn't want my OS to re-partition an USB disk every time I plug it in in
order to make sure it keeps its settings. Perhaps I want different repeat
rates and delays for each keyboard I have when I "switch" keyboards --- and is
it possible for a computer to distinguish one keyboard from another? So far,
they still even haven't made keyboards that tell the computer how many keys
they have. I have a collection between 101 or what it was (102?), 105 and 122
keys (or so), and I have always been too lazy to count the keys. So I keep a
bunch of .Xmodmap around, one for each keyboard ...
Anyway, someone suggested a software called "barrier". I tried it yesterday,
and works great: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier.git
It's one of the softwares everyone should know about ...
