Free Linux remote control software?
I'm looking for a way to control one Linux Mint computer from another, remote Linux Mint computer.
Something like DameWare for windows, but free.
It doesn't matter whether the software creates a new login session, or "logs in" to the existing session.
I'm using Windscribe VPN with an option of a static IP address and port forwarding (not sure if that's helpful, or a problem if both computers use the same static IP ).
The less command prompt work/learning, the better, but it's not a problem that I'm not willing to overcome if there aren't any GUI alternatives.
Oh, the use case:
I want to be able to use a remote computer for the time-consuming video editing (rendering is the right term?), see when it's over, let it run the next one, while I'm doing some other work far away, on my other computer.
And no, because of some minute fiddling needed, any batch processing is not an option (for now).

A bit lame, but would Chrome Remote Desktop work? I use it to control my Windows PC from my Chromebook. If Mint has a Chrome browser, it might just work. No hassle at all to setup and works even for gaming remotely. Very stable

I used to have X11vnc on Ubuntu desktop, so that it can be controlled remotely from my tablet.

Quite good on Windows, but I never tried the Linux version.

I use it on Windows to control a Linux machine. Linux to Linux works flawlessly too.
I've been using AnyDesk for a few months and like it, other than it using a lot of data and not being able to consistently wake up my computer that connects via wifi.
Do you know of a good way to limit its bandwidth usage when using a phone (Android) to connect to a computer (Windows)? Even setting quality to "best reaction time" (lowest quality of the 3 options) on both devices, it uses bandwidth like crazy if I'm using mobile data. It once burned through >500MB of data during a 5-minute connection!
I may hijack the thread with this but thought that I should ask here instead of a new thread, as the question is related a bit: Does any self-hosted Anydesk-like software exist?

Please tag me if something comes up. I would love to know about something like that, too!
I'm not sure what the two of you are referring to, but perhaps https://guacamole.apache.org/ ?

I used this for a while, https://github.com/immense/Remotely
The client is not lightweight as we see usually in the case of TV or Anydesk
