Brain is fried and I'm out 15 sats but ppqai helped pop my raspberry pi cherry.

Not even sure I understand half of the steps or why they had to be done but it seems to be working. Guess it's not possible to access the Pi's desktop from my laptop's browser like I can with Start9?

Note to self: order one of those micro HDMI adapters because this headless stuff is a whole extra level of confusion.
