If you don’t already have a desktop installed, you will spend hours if not days likely trying to get a remote desktop going  !!!

Teamviewer is explicitly for sharing *desktop* environments yes (and I have mixed results with it under linux) - you already have an interface to the linux command line right ?

Again - installing the Omnis Linux server is likely to be a not-straightforward thing (whether from command line or desktop environment) - just want to prepare you for a world of pain !!!! Not trying to denigrate Omnis (or Debian) - just many years of hard fought experience battling with those two particular demons :) Omnis was never optimized for Linux (in my opinion) and although I have had various versions work under Linux - it has never ever been a simple path (as a relatively seasoned Linux user) - in Linux, every application has a bunch of ‘dependencies’ - or other apps that it needs to run properly. Omnis always seems to be missing essential dependencies, which no doubt are platform variable, but nonetheless make it a tough install…...

I don’t want to dampen your enthusiasm - but do please understand you are entering a wholly different world that is alien and unfriendly…..you have been warned :)
