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.
What does “lock” mean here? Would her screen turn dark or freeze with RDP?
Rdp would immediately sign her out and she’d be staring at the logon screen while you worked. She couldn’t see what you’re doing.
It’ll go to the lock screen and eventually go dark. RDP (on Windows) doesn’t let you share screens/controls, AFAIK.
I think it just locks the input.
