KDE comes with krfb (Kde Remote Frame Buffer?) but I'm not thrilled with 
it.  I have *x11vnc* on my laptop so I can access it remotely.

On my KDE PC, krdc (Kde Remote Desktop *Client*) is good for connecting 
to VNC stuff...

I've used tight-vnc, but not sure if that's a good option these days. 
TigerVNC sounds oddly similar


I haven't used Vino in ... a decade+.

I did an install on my KDEneon desktop (on top of Ubuntu 20.04) and it 
didn't have a file called "/etc/dconf/site" either.


Probably best to either a) forego encryption if on LAN, b) install a VPN 
(WireGuard is quite nice and wickedly fast).



Not the best info above, but hopefully it'll arrive quickly enough to 
salvage a Saturday evening.
