If not, I’m curious why SSH isn’t enough for remote troubleshooting?
Using SSH has a lot of advantages, and can be locked down and limited
to certain subnets, and can be set up to use 2FA. Throw in something
like Tailscale or some other VPN, and you can limit exposure of the
SSH port to the internet. Then, if you absolutely must use a
graphical remote access, you can forward it over ssh.
"ssh -X" is how I get by on this one particular Fedora server.
Ssh is fast and stable.
"vi" is an invaluable.
Well written sparse programs such as Leafpad, Geany will
render, but a slow. Caja works too for file transfer,
Sometimes though, I need to actually have access to a GUI,
such as administering the Watchguard Firebox firewall
and running virt-manager (command line is available
to that, but the GUI version is easier).
I've run virt-manager over SSH, but I do have a VNC desktop running for
the rare cases that I need to use a GUI for some reason.
