====== Add Fake Display when No Monitor is Plugged In ======
Basically install a dummy driver:
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-dummy
Then write it in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/xorg.conf (or possibly /etc/X11/xorg.conf) file (create one, if it does not exist):
===== **IMPORTANT!!! Set Up remote desktop FIRST!** =====
* Before changing xorg.conf file, set up remote desktop server first, like "RustDesk" and create backup of original file.
