Is there a way to remote login on Mac from PC

My MBP screen is broken and fixing will take time. Meanwhile I want to be able to switch it on and login to that machine. I can temporarily higher low resolution screen to login and would like to get local IP and do something like Windows Remote desktop, i.e. Work completely on same Mac but from my Ubuntu Box.

Is there a way I can accomplish this? Commercial cases are ruled out as this is going to be temporary fix.


Solution 1:

So here is what I ended doing. I hooked the machine to temp screen, checked local IP address (It was connected to the router), and noted it down. The I enabled VNC screen sharing. You can search screen sharing in Preferences Window. After enabling it on Mac I was done with the first part.

The second part was to setup the Ubuntu Box. I installed Remmina, client for multiple Protocols, available for free. In Remmina, I connected via VNC protocol, typed in the IP and connected.

Everything worked beautifully!
