Yep. Now, tell me how to reliably remotely interact with my MacBook desktop while my partner is logged in to that MacBook and I'm using a separate machine. Note -- and I can't believe this needs spelling out -- I want to see my desktop. Not the login screen, not my partner's desktop.
Also note: reliably. As in repeatably. As in, it "just works". Ha.
I gratefully await your advice.
Meanwhile, I'll refrain from tales of doing this 25 **ing years ago without breaking a sweat.
Sigh.

Note -- and I can't believe this needs spelling out -- I want to see my desktop. Not the login screen, not my partner's desktop. Wouldn’t Screen Sharing work here ? I have to test when I get home today but I’m sure this is possible.
- argsnd 5y agoI just created a second user on my MacBook, enabled the built-in VNC server, switched back to the first user, and was able to access the second user's desktop remotely with a VNC client on Windows while the MacBook itself displayed the first user's desktop.
