Hello all,
I’m planning to install Linux Mint on the notebooks of some relatives as it’s not compatible with Windows 11 and thus not getting security updates anymore. They are absolutely not tech savvy and only using very basic stuff (web browser, print documents, maybe low level office stuff). Still I’m looking for a way to support them with some kind of remote control software if they have an issue. On Windows I liked Teamviewer for it’s simplicity, they can double click the icon and tell me the code that is displayed and that’s it. Is there something similar for Linux which doesn’t require complex setup on their end? FOSS is a plus, but not a must have.
Regards, rbn
Not FOSS, but AnyDesk is pretty nice, easy to use, and works on almost all platforms. For unsupervised access you have to change some settings in person, but otherwise it’s as simple as “start the red program, tell me the (persistent) number, and click the green accept button”
