Is there a more lightweight solution? Like, some ssh frontend? I’d like to help my mom cleaning up her Windows computer because she’s not very tech savvy. I can of course just screen share on some messaging app but it’d save so much time if I could have control.
I’m not going to be reacting to answers advising me to install a Windows esque distro on her computer.
@akunohana I last used it about twenty years ago. I notice it is no longer supported.
Yeah, just saw it. It’s the thought that counts though! Thanks! 🙂
Still works once you can get it to connect, though. The catch is that connecting can take several tries. Probably better to use remmina unless there’s a bug in freerdp that’s causing problems for your use case (rdesktop is, I believe, the only Linux rdp client that uses its own protocol implementation instead of the freerdp library).
