Comment on what is good remote desktop software?

Install Tailscale on all devices.

Then ssh into whatever you need.

If you need desktop remote access the Windows RDP should work for Windows to Windows machines.

For Linux host to Windows client I’ve had good experiences with Remmina Desktop.

Tailscale is american. There are European alternatives like netbird.io or self hosted headscale.

  That’s misinformation. Tailscale is Canadian. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tailscale

    My bad, sorry Canadians!
    
    I just read a thread on hackernews where a bunch of Europeans where switching to netbird because of migration away from US tech, so I guess that was a mistake on their part.

    The Hackernews company gets shit on a lot by Lemmy and Reddit. From my understanding, they have a lot of bad people who run the company.
    
    I would just use Lemmy and Reddit instead.

    Didn’t know that, I always read it was American.
    
    Sorry Canadians - my apologies.

I hate having to continuously point this out, but DO NOT DO THIS unless you have a deeper understanding of networking.

“Just installing Tailscale” without proper configuration of the default routes is going to cause all kinds of routing inefficiencies and loopbacks in your internal network that is absolutely unnecessary, especially for what OP asking for.

This is just bad advice.
