Not looking for things that are only trial or pro purpose, I use chrome remote desktop but I imagine there’s better options?

      RDP is kind of limited because it’s a virtual session. It’s useful if you only need to do stuff while you’re actively connected but you can’t, for example, remote in and start an app or process going and then disconnect and have that app continue. When you d/c your profile is essentially logged out. Your activity also can’t be viewed by a user on the remote system, if you needed to collaborate or assist somehow.

      UltraVNC has worked ok for me for windows systems. It has some of that open-source clunk to the UI, but is pretty straight forward and does what I need.

    TeamViewer, not a fan of the new interface, but it functions well.

    I use it to help multiple family members.

    If yoy need rdp, ssh, and vnc, i really like apache guacamole. If you want remote assistance software, i like rust desk.

    I have had nothing but great experience from Parsec. It’s gaming intended, but works perfectly for simple remote desktop use as well. Very low latency. Can start when windows boots, so you can even sign in remotely if you need to restart. Free
