Teamviewer alternatives?

Hi guys! I'd like to know what teamviewer alternatives are out there these days. At this point it's my most insecure software, and I'd rather leave it, but I need something super simple to troubleshoot my mom's computer and things like that.

Thanks!

RustDesk! It's open source and can be self hosted!
- I have been using it for 2 weeks and it's great!
- Can I also use it without selfhosting? What is the difference?
  
  Thanks!
  
  Absolutely! You can use it without selfhosting it. It's just a nice thing to keep in mind. Differences are cost, quality and more privacy i guess?
To add to it, TeamViewer is a scummy company on top of all the issues with their software model.
