From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's the best way to remote into a linux machine? (lemmy.ml)

Not just the terminal, I mean a full remote desktop. What's the best method? Not just from one linux machine to another machine, but also remoting from a windows machine to a linux machine.

I'm a bit of a linux novice, but trying to do more.

Good to know since I'm using a pixel as well. For remoting to my own devices. Since they are all running Wayland now. I plan to try out waypipe soon. I read it's like a replacement for running X over ssh.

For helping family members I was looking for something more user friendly. Which is why I was looking into rust desk.

Well, don't let me put you off of it; Rust Desk is pretty nice, and user friendly. Just... keep any eye on it if you run it on your phone. Maybe you won't have any problems, but if you start noticing reboots, you'll have an idea of why.
