Hi all;
I have a Fedora laptop, and a mac laptop (OSX 10.15)
Is there a method I can use to run firefon on the mac and have it display on my Fedora laptop?
Thanks in advance
Sorry if this seems to be a dupe, my previous subject line was unclear

As you heard on the CentOS list, it’s unlikely to work with MacOS as the remote side, since it doesn’t use X11 for apps like Firefox.
You can turn on VNC and connect to the desktop remotely, but the apps are still displaying on the Mac. You can also install Xorg and compile Firefox for X11, but it wouldn’t be the same Firefox you run locally on a Mac.

If the Mac is able to run containers, it should be possible to run a Fedora container on the Mac, with firefox started there from your machine with "ssh -X container firefox". Not simple but the same thing works on a smartphone, it should on a Mac too.
Best regards.
