You have tigervnc, which is worse in every way, so I assume you want https://www.tightvnc.com/ on your list of remote management

rust desk is also easier/better than both if you're running your own infrastructure https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk

and there also is https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP

See https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted/issues/3327

https://github.com/awesome-foss/awesome-sysadmin#remote-management and https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#remote-access could be reorganized.

In the mean time feel free to send Pull Request to add the projects you mentioned. Servers should go to https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#remote-access, clients and related software should go to https://github.com/awesome-foss/awesome-sysadmin#remote-management

So you want me to delete tight vnc from here as well and move it to that one?

what do we do with software that offers clients + servers, stand alone servers, and stand alone clients like tightvnc does?

rustdesk has their own server you can run (for negotiating and routing of the people connecting to each other), and the program is a client/server for the specific PC it's installed on for access.

Not sure where to add it other than both places.

Something like Remmina is pretty straight forward because it just connects to stuff

I would merge everything under remote access and maybe have a sub header for client, server and mixed or something.
