I have Windows and Linux desktop VMs that I run with qemu/KVM. The console for them is a simple VNC server. If I need to connect remotely to either I just punch a tunnel with ssh and connect. This is how I do all my webex conferences and HR-mandated training. No audio, easily backroundable without triggering the bullshit window awareness features of the training apps.
I highly recommend it.

It changed my life, really. 😁

Fuck TeamViewer.
I've been using it to control my home PC desktop from remote for a few years now (booted PC via Wake-On-LAN, done stuff, shutdown). I started using Chrome Remote Desktop a while ago too, but its ports are blocked at work, so I had to rely on TV some more.
Recently TV more often told me that I was offline (but I wasn't) and more importantly they started blocking my connections due to "commercial usage" (it's my private shit, yo), so now I've moved on to RDP via SSH.
That really makes me feel relieved as I wanted to move away from it for a while now anyways and SSH tunnels also are the real shit.
Today was a good day.
