VNC server on her computer. VNC client on your computer. Make sure password is very strong since you’re opening this to the wider internet. Open a port for VNC to pass through on your moms router (and possibly your own as well), and then connect remotely. TigerVNC seems to be available for all platforms, including Windows and Linux. TigerVNC includes a server and viewer. tigervnc.org github.com/TigerVNC/tigervnc

Bonus points if you encapsulate VNC in SSH, which would help keep your session secure regardless of the VNC password length Initiate a ssh session with -L 5900:server name:5900 Start a vnc server on the server Connect to vnc on localhost:5900 and authenticate
