Except, actually, that is BS.

Because you literally have no idea what you are talking about, and the problem with remote sessions on Linux is due to a specific and unidentified bug in the interaction between the version of Qt shipped with calibre and the Linux remote session implementation which is causing this to spew error messages and fail to work on some peoples' machines -- like the OP. As the OP posted about, a mere two days ago in this exact subforum.

So that's BS, and please stop spewing BS when you have no idea what you are talking about, and have no reason to think you know what you are talking about due to not actually using the operating system in question. Thanks.

If you're somehow not sure the OP knows what they are talking about, and you want to ask them why they think they cannot use calibre remotely when there are many decent vnc applications out there, you go right ahead and do that.

But when you start out from the assumption that you have already proven them wrong, accuse them of BS'ing, and then you turn out to be the one in the wrong, then your well-known habit of immediately jumping to conclusions has abruptly become quite insulting.
