Can't screenshare between Macbook Pro 2020 M1 Big Sur and iMac 2012 Pop os
by graphic4222 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FMBD)
Hello,
Hopefully there are some solutions to the puzzle I'm trying to solve. I am an artist and really only use my computer to run Scribus, GIMP, and Inkscape, browse the internet and move/export image files. I don't game or stream video or work in 3D rendering. I have a new Macbook Pro and I just got an old 27" iMac desktop so I can work with a life size 11x17 image on screen. I got it used, and it only has Pop os installed- (the original mac os is gone due to remote management problems? Details unclear, but don't worry, it wasn't stolen.) I want to be able to share screens from laptop to the larger desktop screen. I haven't found anyone online trying to work with this particular set up, so I'm hoping that doesn't mean I'm doomed.
I have:
-2020 Macbook Pro M1 13" with Big Sur
-2012 iMac 27" with only Pop os
-Thunderbolt 2 cable
-Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 Adapter
-Anker 7-in-1 USB C adapter w/ Hdmi
-Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
-Internet from a dedicated mobile hotspot (moxee), no ethernet or other wifi
I want:
-To either mirror my laptop screen onto the desktop, or expand my laptop workspace to include the desktop screen
-connect the keyboard and mouse to the desktop, and be able to move back and forth from laptop to desktop.
-easily move image files back and forth from desktop to laptop.
I tried connecting the laptop and desktop with the thunderbolt cable, but nothing seemed to happen. I have very little experience with Linux and computers in general, but am willing to learn. Please let me know if you have any possible solutions for my current struggle. Thank you!
