Is there a more lightweight solution? Like, some ssh frontend? I’d like to help my mom cleaning up her Windows computer because she’s not very tech savvy. I can of course just screen share on some messaging app but it’d save so much time if I could have control.
I’m not going to be reacting to answers advising me to install a Windows esque distro on her computer.


Assuming you have an existing VPN to her network, then any RDP client will work.
Remmina is the best remote client out there right now. Will work fine. Should be available everywhere.
I do not have a VPN set up (yet). Gosh… Am I supposed to learn wireguarding on windows now?🤣 kidding. Thanks!
For this kind of thing I like using zerotier, instead of a VPN.
I’ll check it out! Thanks!
