On Ubuntu

  1. sudo apt install x11vnc
  2. x11vnc -storepasswd
  3. x11vnc -usepw, note the port in the output : 
    The VNC desktop is:      Workbench:0
PORT=5900
  4. Install RealVNC Viewer on MacOS and setup a new connection using the ip, port and password from above

RealVNC, TightVNC, etc. Are usually used like RDP on Windows, where you get your own separate X session when you connect. X11VNC is more commonly used when you want to share an existing X session (e.g. So you can see/control what's going on on the desktop, including users logging in and out). - source
