Teamviewer alternatives? (self.foss)

Hi guys! I'd like to know what teamviewer alternatives are out there these days. At this point it's my most insecure software, and I'd rather leave it, but I need something super simple to troubleshoot my mom's computer and things like that.

Thanks!

RustDesk! It's open source and can be self hosted!

I have been using it for 2 weeks and it's great!

Can I also use it without selfhosting? What is the difference?

Thanks!

Absolutely! You can use it without selfhosting it. It's just a nice thing to keep in mind. Differences are cost, quality and more privacy i guess?

To add to it, TeamViewer is a scummy company on top of all the issues with their software model.
