I am looking for a Teamviewer alternative. The version that have for Linux is simply crap.

I know there are many Remote Desktop applications, but none seem to be like Teamviewer. I don't want to do SSH or anything like that. If you know Teamviewer you know what I want.

Help?

Besides the interface being messed up and not looking right. My issue is that there is no tray icon, it stays as a window/dock item. Which I don't like.

There is no Linux support for that?

The interface does indeed use windows widgets, which are a bit ugly :s

Regarding the tray, though, you can install alltray and modify the teamviewer launcher to something like this:

/usr/bin/alltray teamviewer

That'll give the app a tray icon, and it'll minimize to tray when you close the window (I think it also starts the app minimized to tray, but I'm not sure).

Mikogo is not free, just free trial. I guess I never stated I wanted it to be free.

And after a few days of running Teamviewer and testing it from my Android phone, it's ok. The interface I can get over. And my other issue with it was solved.

Thanks guys.

    • Denmark ditching Windows and Office for Linux as it may not want to rely on Microsoft, Trump

      It wasn't "Germany" trying to move away from Windows, it was one state in Germany https://www.neowin.net/news/ge...t-to-linux-and-libreoffice/ I also don't think they "crawled back to Windows". The same state also ditched Teams https://it.slashdot.org/story/...hits-uninstall-on-microsoft
    • iPhone Overheating While Gaming

      By Jamie Smith · Posted

      Hey folks, I've recently noticed my iPhone (13 Pro) getting insanely hot while playing certain games — especially ones with high graphics like COD Mobile or even during long FaceTime calls. Battery drops fast, the back heats up, and the phone starts lagging a bit too. It honestly reminds me of that GTA San Andreas mission where CJ runs through a burning building with the fire extinguisher — except I don’t have one for my phone 😂 Jokes aside, I’ve: Turned off background app refresh Reduced brightness Closed unnecessary apps Updated to the latest iOS But the issue still pops up during intense tasks. 👉 Anyone else facing this? 👉 Is this normal with newer iPhones or something I should worry about long term? 👉 Could using a MagSafe charger regularly have anything to do with it? Would love to hear your experience or if you’ve got tips to cool things down (besides playing San Andreas. on low graphics haha). Cheers!

      It's funny how easy he is to emulate because of such a limited verbal vocabulary.
    • Ignore/Block Moderators/Staff

      By Barney T. · Posted

      No, moderators and staff can not be blocked for obvious reasons. Individuals with bad intent could block moderators from doing their jobs. We have lots of spam/ users who sign up with bad intent and we are constantly cleaning the board of these troublemakers. The ability to block us would severely hamper us from doing our job. If any member has an issue with a staff member or moderator, you may PM a Supervisor, Steven P. or me to look into the matter.  Best, Barney

      Would you be open to allowing users to ignore/block staff/moderators here? When trying to do so now, you cannot add a mod/global mod to your ignore/block list. Curious why this is setup this way, is there any way around this?
