One of the things many of us struggle with when settings friends and
family up with Linux is remote support. Commercial solutions like
[[https://www.realvnc.com/][RealVNC]] and [[https://rustdesk.com/][RustDesk]] do exist and function very well, but are often more
expensive than we would like for answering the odd "I can't get Facebook
open!" support call. I've been on the lookout for suitable alternatives
for a couple years but nothing has been satisfying. Because of this, I
have held off on setting others up with any Linux distribution, even the
particularly user-friendly options such as [[https://linuxmint.com/][Linux Mint]] and [[https://elementary.io/][elementary OS.]]
If I'm going drop someone in an unfamiliar environment, I want to be
able to help with any issue within a couple hours, not days and
/certainly/ not weeks.
[[https://linuxunplugged.com/421][Episode 421 of LINUX Unplugged]] gave me an awesome idea to use [[https://github.com/slackhq/nebula][Nebula,]] a
networking tool created by Slack, [[https://libvnc.github.io/][X11vnc,]] a very minimal VNC server, and
[[https://remmina.org/][Remmina,]] a libre remote access tool available in pretty much every Linux
distribution.
