Before I say anything more, I have a question... Is this a system that's you're going to use locally and remotely, or will you be using it via RDP mostly?

For the now, it's sitting right here next to my desktop. But the idea is to be able to remote both ways (remmina works fine to Windows) so I only need to use the one keyboard/mouse/monitor(s).
I could use VNC - if I could get it to work... but for some reason it's 'failing'..
now,.. reversing the recent update/ installs I've done I get:

Not sure what to do about the EFI issue....
What I do when I want to use mine like that is set up x11vnc-server and then run it through XRDP (and choose the console option). It's faster than stock VNC... Don't ask me why, lol. I haven't gotten instructions for that yet, I don't think.
If I remember right, after a reboot, you have to connect, close the connection, and then reconnect back using the XRDP+VNC option. I don't have any installation instructions for that setup on hand though. I can work it out and post them if you like.

This is likely where I went 'rouge' in that I didn't use x11vnc-server.. I had notes on that,.. at least I believe and have misplaced them. so I had forget that.
As I was starting to have other 'OS' Kernel issues (the mouse and keyboard wasn't working correctly) I nuked that partition from Windows, and will rebuild. Maybe it'll survive as I am of course getting grub 'errors' since that partition is gone.
