I was recently setting up my Linux pc to be able to run as a NAS on the local network, and I noticed that when I right click on the machine in the network list on windows I get the option to remote desktop the machine.
I clicked this, and after a while of it trying to load nothing happened. presumably, I have to enable something on my device first. what do I have to change and how?

To enable remote desktop on your Ubuntu, follow the steps personally followed by me on Ubuntu v16.04 LTS:
- Search your computer and type
deskto open desktop sharing - Enable
Allow other users to view your desktopoption if you want other users should just see your desktop. To give them editing rights also, opt forAllow other users to control your desktopoption - Google for different VNC clients and find the one that suits you the best
- Combine
Ctrl+Alt+tkeys together to open a fresh terminal window For connection, I personally use
remminacommandSecurity setting
In case someone tries to connect with you and you want to check before blocking or allowing that connection, check the Ask you for confirmation option.
You can also set up a password for your remote connection to avoid giving anyone unauthorized access to your system.

is it possible to do just with the terminal? the only easy way I have to access the system is ssh.

I have always used this brother. But I am sure there would be other ways too. Let's see what other experts here have to say. We can always learn from them.

if you don't know a way, then I may as well just connect the machine up, it's just that I only have 1 set of peripherals. Thanks for your answer though.
