Hi guys! Would appreciate comments and recommendations on remote desktop apps. Currently I have looked at wikis and articles but none give me their opinion. Need it to help my parents and grandparents because we all know that guiding them through the phone is torture.

Rustdesk works fine on Arch but unfortunately the client on Mac OS has been buggy. Would prefer FOSS over Anydesk and Teamviewer. Thank you in advance!

So... This is Linux (client) connecting to a remote MacOS desktop or(?)

I think some more context would be helpful. Not sure if I've got any suggestions, but I figure others will want that clarification

The Rustdesk MacOS client has been buggy on my Grandmother's computer, on my end (Arch) it works flawlessly even though support for Wayland is experimental, so yes I need something that is cross-platform. I left out details on purpose thinking it was best no to be too verbose, I'll edit the post now for clarification. Thank you
