i've been using it to support friends and works very well, the weird part is that i have access to those computers at anytime if they're on, without settings available to require the user's permission! it seems quite invasive. because of this i have instructed them to block/remove it until it's needed again
before this, what would people use to access Windows desktops from Linux? i know about VNC but didn't find a client for both
Try meshcentral.
anydesk is fairly popular afaik and cross platform, just not FOSS. I used to use it to control my steam deck from my Windows PC. One major upside is anydesk requires the user to accept a connection before control is handed over
i forgot about that criteria, being FOSS. i've used AnyDesk before, but avoid doing so now.
i've also used Remmina, but some of the people i support use Windows Home edition, which doesn't include an RDP server. i don't kbno if i could use it with VNC
I personally like the fact that it runs in the background by default. It simplifies a lot of thinks that way.
