    Remote Desktop Access of a Linux Mint System

    Rustdesk should be able to connect between most PC's. I'm no expert but I use it to connect my Linux systems to my windows desktops all the time. You need to have Rustdesk installed on both systems, but they have a version for most OS's. Remmina is popular but I have never used it so...
