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.
Bonus points if you encapsulate VNC in SSH, which would help keep your session secure regardless of the VNC password length
Initiate a ssh session with -L 5900:server name:5900
Start a vnc server on the server
Connect to vnc on localhost:5900 and authenticate
Best advice that I forgot to include because it’s been a while since I needed VNC for anything. @akunohana@piefed.blahaj.zone, please follow @ianhclark510@lemmy.blahaj.zone’s advice here!
Mighty! Thank you both! 😊
