I have an old pc on which I run jellyfin and some other stuff. It’s only connected through lan. I used to use window’s remotedesktop to connect to it, but that stopped working.
Now I’m looking for a good remote desktop. Because it s tucked away in a corner, fysical acces to it is cumbersome.
My server runs mint with xfce. My laptop runs windows 11, because of work reasons.
I’m inclined to use something like anydesk, but I’m unsure how to trust that company.
May I ask a bit more?
Can you launch on system start up as opposed to user, yes in my experience.
Can you login when the user has not yet been logged in, yes in my experience so long as the program is launched by the system as a service and not a user login option.
If the machine has multiple monitors, you may need to test, as I standardly use a phone (android) to remote to my desktop/laptop seveer environments where I can individually choose a monitor if they have more than 1 I believe, but having one screen on the phone, I don’t view both at the same time… nor would it be convenient…
It’s a free 2 minute try it out really. The uninstall if you don’t like. If you really like it maybe consider hosting your own. But otherwise you can use it from their severs for free and it will remember your recent connections and passwords if you want on your local device…
I feel like a salesperson for a free product lol
Edit: I realized I asked no questions, did that answer yours?
