I have a few family members that I help support. For instance, I installed Linux Mint on my grandmother’s PC. She doesn’t know any different and my young cousin doesn’t understand it so he finally stopped giving it viruses. I used to use TeamViewer to take over her PC when she needed support but I got my account banned because they believed I was using it commercially. Oh well!
I have Tailscale installed on the computers. This gives me SSH access. What would you suggest? RDP? Something else?
I’ve used X11 over SSH before and it works great for some use cases, however it does not work with Wayland, so if their system supports it now, there’s no guarantee it will work after a major system update.
I was curious about that as I haven’t tried Wayland yet and its been a while since I’ve had any reason for an x session via ssh. Glad someone with first hand knowledge could chime in for OP and others as well as myself.
I have heard they are either working on a similar thing for Wayland or already solved it.
This looks promising, but I have not used it before.
How quickly things progress. I’m stuck using X due to nvidia. All will get sorted in time. Thanks for the info!
Yep that’s why I use KDE. It has nVidia support for Wayland.
