Ironically I have set up a Linux Mint system who's primary function is to function as a server for RustDesk. Linux Mint is pretty cool, I would like to be able to have full access to the system as I set it up as it is buried away downstairs in the group. It is possibe to deal with it directly but that is not how I normally function.
I am able to access the Linux system with Putty via SSH so I do have a door open.
I am a rank noob when it comes to Linux, I confess. Can someone who is not help me out please?
 
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......... Either way they both support multiOS's and are opensource and free.
 
  1. Update and install RustDesk

    sudo apt update<br>sudo apt install rustdesk -y
  2. Enable and start the service

    sudo systemctl enable rustdesk<br>sudo systemctl start rustdesk
  3. Get your RustDesk ID

    rustdesk --get-id
    Use this ID to connect from your main PC.
  4. Allow RustDesk ports through the firewall

    sudo ufw allow 21114:21118/tcp

Now you can connect with RustDesk from anywhere and have full desktop access.
