For me even remote connections to Windows 10 from a good host trigger my symptoms

    Flicker-Free FL-41 Filter Added to Rx Glasses or Alone (If no coating on existing lenses, can be added for about ~$40).

    F.Lux or IRIS for computer.

    MSM Eye Drops.

    Check if overhead lighting makes your symptoms worse. I can only use incandescent with a shaded desk lamp (and natural sunlight).

    Tried all those things (and many may more) to no relief

      Have you tried Teamviewer? In my experience with it (Bad W10/Mac Host Machine/Good Client Machine) I haven't noticed any issues. You can set it to LAN only and just connect to the host IP. I was using a W10 PC and a Mac Mini as a media/file server for some time and relied on Teamviewer to connect to it and bulk rename files, edit text documents etc.

      I haven't gone over this thread, but I've been using KDE Neon and like it. It installs easily and does what I need it to do.

      @ensete How are you doing with Windows? Still patching?

      What I have been doing for years is projecting or remote viewing my work laptop to my good laptop, works like a charm and you can upgrade your work laptop and keep you own PC where it at.. try that.

      About teamviewer, anydesk, and another one I can't remember right now: they are officially known to monitor your desktop. I stopped using them some time ago.

        Alyosha2001 I also agree with this concern. In addition TeamViewer in particular was targeted in remote attacks where malicious hackers managed to gain access to arbitrary users computers without any passwords or permission from the end users. The TeamViewer company tried to downplay these incidents saying the fault of the intrusions was on the end users, when it was TeamViewer's server that were quite possibly compromised.

        I had a similar issue at work recently. My work laptop was a macbook pro. It was fine for a number of years. Recently upgraded the OS to Monterey. As soon as it rebooted I had instant eye strain / pain.

        Alyosha2001 Citrix workspace has the same functionality, not sure about security but it is being used by many companies.

        Glad to hear that! I took one day, once, and I got through all the RDP alternatives I could find and settled to Parsec, which you can do video editing on, as it has very small lag, and RustDesk, which is open source and does his job very well.
