What would you use to remotely support a computer with "LAN" access? (programming.dev)

I have a few family members that I help support. For instance, I installed Linux Mint on my grandmother's PC. She doesn't know any different and my young cousin doesn't understand it so he finally stopped giving it viruses. I used to use TeamViewer to take over her PC when she needed support but I got my account banned because they believed I was using it commercially. Oh well!

I have Tailscale installed on the computers. This gives me SSH access. What would you suggest? RDP? Something else?

Gotcha. As usual with Linux, there are lots of ways to crack the nut. I would be inclined to go with the built-in option, in this case. Less likely to break.
