- tingol 4y agoYou mean like a laptop?
- maicro 4y agoI've installed noVNC on a Pi before, didn't try accessing it through an iPad and I don't recall if I was using desktop or just terminal, BUT, I think something like noVNC could get you close to iPad-as-RPI-screen. Add in some VPN functionality and you can keep the Pi running at home, but use the iPad anywhere you can get online (though now you're getting into diminishing returns).
- vincent-manis 4y agoI use my iPad Pro as a remote terminal to an RPi 400 and an Odroid N2+. Both of these machines are running xrdp, and I use the Microsoft Remote Desktop client on the iPad. RDP seems somewhat faster than VNC.
- rcarmo 4y agoRDP is much faster than VNC because it has improved compression and latency management. Also, it is its own X server generally, and not a bolt-on, so less overhead.
- user00012-ab 4y agowhat do you actually want to do? I have https://github.com/coder/code-server https://github.com/coder/code-server and https://jupyter.org/hub https://jupyter.org/hub running on a PI, along with tailscale on the ipad and pi. This allows the IPAD to have a full editor, and a shell onto the pi.
- dzhiurgis 4y agoHave RPI as command line computer - keyboard & screen only and maybe gradually grow into gui. Probably easier to buy rugged laptop or old thinkpad and install linux)
