Hi guys! Would appreciate comments and recommendations on remote desktop apps. Currently I have looked at wikis and articles but none give me their opinion. Need it to help my parents and grandparents because we all know that guiding them through the phone is torture.

Rustdesk works fine on Arch but unfortunately the client on Mac OS has been buggy. Would prefer FOSS over Anydesk and Teamviewer. Thank you in advance!

Tiger VNC over ssh is my FOSS suggestion.

If the client machine is Linux, https://remmina.org/ is great and supports lots of protocols.

If the client is MacOS (and iOS), JumpDesktop is a great non-FOSS client. It supports ssh, vnc, and their own protocol.
