To determine Linux version and Install: lsb_release -a (may need to install it first: yum or dnf install lsb_release)

Lock Screen (turn that obnoxiously agressive lock time of .5 seconds off), via the GUI: Activities, "9 Dot" Applications Menu, Settings, Privacy, Lock Screen (OFF!)

There are some indications that X11VNC will have difficulty on Rocky Linux 9 or later: https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/x11vnc-systemd-on-rocky9/8671 (might be because of GNOME Desktop, but doesn't seem to affect XFCE Desktop and includes the Wayland VS MATE stuff)

Use this command to see if the X11 Display Server (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windowing_system#Display_server) is being used: echo $$XDG_SESSION_TYPE (if the answer is x11, then you should be good to go)
