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.

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Fewer Letters More Letters
NAT Network Address Translation
SSH Secure Shell for remote terminal access
VNC Virtual Network Computing for remote desktop access
VPN Virtual Private Network

4 acronyms in this thread; the most compressed thread commented on today has 13 acronyms.
