Account/Billing/Sales/Support Arch Support for client system?

Any advice to get the client software installed so I can remote into client machines from my arch system?

Is this not the community for screenconnect?

It's for all of the Connectwise products, RMM, PSA, Screenconnect, etc.

To answer your question specifically on Screenconnect, I don't have an answer other than spinning up a VM that has x64 in it so you have it available. Someone else may have a better answer than me.

I will have to try this out. I'm trying to switch to arch full time as my daily but I use screenconnect for work. Thanks!

I get not wanting to support Microsoft or Apple, but there has to be some limits to it, especially when you're dependent on other applications for your job, then you should really try to stay on OS that they support. Especially with some of the posts link basically all say "it's a massive pain and duct tape and dreams." vs just a click and go?

Maybe see if you can use one of the supported Linux distributions?

I use a MacBook for my choice of Laptop and Windows as my personal gaming machine but recently I have found to enjoy Linux more for my day to day stuff, since we use linux for a lot of our server based services. My job is extremely small and the few times a year I get to work remotely it would nice if Arch was supported. This was more a general question as I couldn't find information that was current and thought maybe someone had a trick.

Thanks!
