From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I haven't done this in years but I've always found open source solutions to this to be quite clunky and usually barely worked. What always just worked fine for me was Teamviewer. Yeah it's proprietary and has crappy licensing but it's mostly a smooth ride.
Do try the open source options first tho, it's quite possible they got way better in the last few years since I've done this.
RustDesk Has worked pretty well for me on the rare occasions I need it.
That looks great, and it gets bonus points for being written in Rust. Thanks for sharing this.
