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.

Edit: I got rustdesk up and running and it's a good solution for my usecase. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions.

Agreed and you can self host the backend if you want.

Yeah I suppose I should have said what I've used it for but I think I've only really used it for Android, Linux, and I think I may have put it on Windows once, not sure. Overall I run into few circumstances I've ever needed to go the machine, usually it's tied to bios/driver issues on the laptop I use for a server, not Rust issues
