If your looking for a remote access to a desktop/GUI Rustdesk.com Is a quick and easy option. Mesh Central is also a good but a little more involved as you need to setup a central server.

There are a few others options if you have a VPN access. Like XRDP servers that lets you use RDP clients, or you can use VNC as well.

If the desktop is gnome, you can enable RDP in the settings.

I assume you have configured raspberry to start the desktop environment when at boot. Also, that this is on the internal lan only. You can run raspiconfig and enable vnc. Then from your laptop run a vnc client and connect to the server.

I recently read that RealVNC has a deal with raspian for remote access to any raspberry PI. They have a lite version with 3pc’s but I think as many pics as you own.

Process to enable it if you are using one of their os’
