Remoting into Desktop Using PinePhone? - SwankyBarbecue4 - 05-16-2020
Hello,
I am extremely interested in getting a PinePhone. I have this wild dream to use my PinePhone with external peripherals to remote into a desktop PC so I can use all of my juicy desktop applications on the go! One PinePhone to rule them all. Genius, right? I am imagining something like Teamviewer with the lowest latency possible.
DWService:
The best solution that I have in mind is DWService for PinePhone. How well does this work? Has anyone ever tried it or know where I could find a review?

Apache Guacamole:
Similar to DWService, [url= https://guacamole.apache.org/]Apache Guacamole seems promising since the client uses a web browser.
Parsec:
I am a curious new member in the Linux community, and I need a lesson on ARM distros. Can software intended for Raspbian run on PinePhone?
Hear me out... My thought process here is this: if Rasbian is an ARM port of Debian, and PinePhone is an ARM platform, then the software has a chance of working, right?
I am wondering if the remote control software Parsec will run on a Debian-based OS on PinePhone. Parsec officially supports the RaspberryPi and has a ".deb" file available for download. The setup guide for installing Parsec on the RaspberryPi is available here.
If anyone already knows of a working solution, I'm all ears!
Thank you for your time.

I have seen there is a package "parsec47" on debian unstable. Not sure if it is what you are looking for.
Alternatively you could always run a VNC server on your desktop machine and install a VNC client on your phone (you would need something like dyndns and port forwarding though).

Thanks for replying.
After more thought, I am looking for a solution on Ubuntu Touch.
The VNC server is a great idea, but I couldn't port forward on my University's network. Are there any ways I could reliably get around this?
What about the web based applications, DWService (has a download for PinePhone) and Apache Guacamole, that I listed above? Could those work?
Thanks.
