HTPC in living room: popos (gnome variant) running plex. I need to remote into (unattended) the desktop to open filezilla and download stuff.
Client pc in office: opensuse tumbleweed (kde plasma).
I have tried SO MANY different things, and they never work consistently over time (like for months on end). I've tried:
1- regular ol built in vnc (with open port) - over time this will stop working for what reason I do not know - just says "client refused connection" and a reboot will fix it
2- nomachine - randomly crashes over time, requires reboot to reinitialize server side software. Also struggles with UI scaling, sometimes making it almost impossible to use (things will be scaled to 4k resolution and scaling won't change)
3- teamviewer - constantly complained about using wayland, sometimes worked, sometimes not
4- rustdesk - honestly I can't remember why this didn't work, but I did try it and got nowhere
5- anydesk - tried this last year at the same time as rustdesk, also couldn't get working but I don't remember why.
I think that's it. So what do you all use?? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

If the server does not have static IP, Thinlinc agent must be configured to redirect to the new IP each time IP changes, also there is no Wayland support. And Thinlinc is proprietary software. Other than these Thinlinc has been great for me, my connection was stable and fast where xrdp and xvnc struggled. It made a night and day difference.

I'm using Wayland, so I suppose that is out. But thank you for the suggestion.

It works for my purposes although I'm slowly looking for a non-proprietary alternative.
Edit:
technically I've used openssh too, but that was on a local connection.

If that's the use, I'd go for simple commandline ssh+lftp.

For remote desktop the last I've used was anydesk, was working pretty good back then.
Has anyone else tried RustDesk? I haven't tried it but it looks good. (I have not tried anything recently)

it would spawn a graphical interface from the remote node to your display, allowing you to use GUI apps from the remote machine and changes taking place on the remote machine...no need for a full desktop
you can try the directions found here"

but like i said...i've no idea if it will still work in the age of wayland
