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

Moonlight and sunshine. Best desktop streaming experience

I set this up initially for gaming, but slowly am ending up using it more for remote than gaming…

VNC is the kind of the baseline remote desktop that works on pretty much any operating system. You can start there & then decide if you need specific features that the others have.
You didn’t mention your own OS but it too probably already has support for its own remote desktop solution.

RustDesk says that it’s compatible with Windows. Is RDP better still?
- Unmapped ( @Unmapped@lemmy.ml ) 5•2 months ago
Depends on use case. If your trying to remoting to a friends PC to help them do something. Rustdesk.
If your remoting to your own PC. Say connecting to a windows machine at home from your work computer. RDP.
Also as others have mentioned. Best to use RDP through something like tailscale or zerotier. So you don’t have to open a port for it.

I switched over to anydesk when TeamViewer started enshitifying itself, haven’t looked back it works great on all my devices, even my phone (as in I can control my PC from my phone I use it a ton)
Setup is super easy, just make sure to set up proper passwords for it, specially if you use public wifi

I remeber it used to be free for personal use, but it seems it’s paid plan only?
- DudeDudenson ( @DudeDudenson@lemmings.world ) 2•2 months ago
I use it for free in android Linux and windows sooo no, I’m not sure we’re you’re getting that info from
- kurcatovium ( @kurcatovium@lemm.ee ) English2•2 months ago
I went to https://anydesk.com/en and got confused. I remeber (or maybe I just say so myself) years and years ago it stated obviously it’s free for personal use. Now it’s just generic site with links to download and not much info and obviously aimed at companies and their $$.
- DudeDudenson ( @DudeDudenson@lemmings.world ) 2•2 months ago
You can literally just download and use it, do you expect a free software not to have some sort of paid option in it’s site? All the paid stuff is for business use, if you’re just using it for yourself they don’t ask for payment info nor do they bother you to pay at any moment
- kurcatovium ( @kurcatovium@lemm.ee ) English1•2 months ago
It’s understandable they have paid version. It was always there. But the wording around was dayn and night different and that’s what confused me. I needed “teamviewer alternative” last month, went there confident I have a solution, but after a moment of looking at the new-to-me site I was honestly not sure whether I can use it or not. More reading didn’t really help in this regard, so I went with RustDesk instead. It did the job I needed and ia open source on top of it.

AnyDesk has started enshitifying too but it’s still better than TeamViewer.

And it also supports port forwarding. Android client included.

rdp over tailscale

TeamViewer, not a fan of the new interface, but it functions well.
I use it to help multiple family members.

Parsec if you’re using it for windows
