Try NoMachine. IME, performance is pretty sub-par, but if it's a once in a while thing you probably don't care that much. It's also got a "clean" and "modern" UI that would look right at home on a toddler's toy.

Try RustDesk, and evaluate run your own host (two binaries not really documented, that demand a home directory (well, a directory to write their stuff, basically you need hbbs and hbbr, plus a personal key to avoid having a relay open to the world).

It's essentially the very same service visually, but it's semi-FLOSS, multi-platform and self-hosting it with enough bandwidth offer very nice performances.

I've used nomachine quite a bit and I definitely wouldn't qualify its performance as sub-par, tho I have no experience with TeamViewer.

it's not as good as parsec, but still much better than VNC, RDP and some of the other remote desktop software people have recommended.

imho the only bad thing about nomachine is the UI.
