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?

Yes. You can set a permanent password. So long as the machine is on, rustdesk is running, and you have the password, you'll get in.
