I would like to set up a remote desktop to access different machines in my studio. In the past I did use anydesk, but ran into issues (after every reboot I could not access the remote computer anymore, but had to reconfigure passwords and so on) and teamviewer (similar issue, the daemon needed to be restarted manually, so maybe my fault) do you have any recommendation for a easy to use remote desktop, that is stable and “survives” boot cycles? Thank you!
Hi @kalimerox,
Although software recommendations are frowned upon here, I’ll say the following:
I have Teamviewer myself, although it doesn’t start the daemon automagically. It works well. If that was your only problem with it, I can recommend that specifically, just enable the daemon after installation:
sudo systemctl enable --now teamviewerd.service
This will enable it for automatic startup on the next boot, as well as start it immediately.
There are also many other options in the Arch wiki, where you should have checked first

Hope this helps!

RustDesk is another alternative worth considering.

Only reason I didn’t recommend it was because I haven’t used it yet, so don’t know what’s involved.
I installed it (RustDesk) once, and thought it did everything the packaging described. Several times, I’ve suggested it as a possibility (like now) and have had positive responses to it, so this is the one I recommend now out of habit. At the end of the day, only the user can know what’s in their head that they actually want. 
The advantage with TeamViewer is that it’s immediately available in Manjaro’s repo’s, whereas RustDesk is not. Of course, RustDesk is available via the AUR, but I don’t like to encourage that beyond a brief mention.
And some don’t even know that much.
But yes, I’ve got it here, on my PC as well, but I haven’t had chance to use yet…
