You could use SSH? That’s what I do. There is a terminal app on iOS that sometimes I use to connect - probably similar on android. What sort of things are you controlling?

Hi all.
I'm a complete Ubuntu newbie and I'm in a bit of a mess and need some advice.
Basically I have a mini pc that I want to use to host a Minecraft Bedrock server for my lad. This bit I get and the guides for hardening, server setup portforawing etc are plentyful.
My bugbear is that the pc has to sit by the router but with no screen so I was trying different RDP software to remote to the pc and control the pc from my android tablet but over LAN.
One of RDPs was No machine but their NX is international based only from what I can gather.
Is it possible to control the pc from an android tablet?

Definitely opt for SSH in this case. It's very straightforward to set up in Ubuntu. Under Settings -> System -> Secure Shell. However, Ubuntu also has Remote Desktop built in which is fully compatible with something like Windows Remote Desktop out of the box. Settings -> System -> Remote Desktop.

Ubuntu is a very good OS for immediate remote desktop usage. I'm sure there's an android app which will work.

I'm sure this doesn't come as a surprise, but apparently graphics acceleration has been broken in Firefox Snap for ages, and the only current fix is to install the .deb package.
