VNC over SSH and you should be set.
You can forward the VNC port with a local port forward e.g
ssh -L $yourPort:localhost:$vncPort $grandmasMachine
. Then open Remmina (or KRDC, or some other VNC client).I do hope your grandma has good upload speeds though.
Bless you for spreading the word of the penguin and being the support of your family. Props to you.
Thanks for the info and link.
I don't need any props. I'm not spreading any word. It's for selfish reasons. My grandparents only use the web browser, so they don't know/care what an OS is. The reason I did it in the first place (they've been running Linux Mint for almost 10 years now) was my cousin kept trying to install Minecraft Mods and giving them viruses. XD
