RustDesk Brings True Unattended Remote Access to Wayland
RustDesk now supports true unattended remote access on Wayland
RustDesk now offers true unattended remote access on Wayland, including multi-monitor setups, with a preview build for x86_64 Debian/Ubuntu systems. Unlike AnyDesk and TeamViewer, which still lack full Wayland support, RustDesk lets users connect without someone approving each session, even from the login screen after reboot. The team seeks real-world testing before making it default, with plans to expand to Fedora and Arch Linux.
Wayland support has been one of the harder parts of Linux remote desktop.

Rustdesk is amazing. I was using it just 2 days ago and ran into this hiccup, so it's a pleasure to see it resolved

Btw does RustDesk support microphone input passthrough from client to the host yet?
So far it's only feature I found missing compared to proprietary solutions.

I have used Remmina over SSH and Tailscale (and generally don’t trust remote desktop tools), which is mentioned in various places by my operating system provider.
How does RustDesk compare with that?

I have a Raspberry Pi hooked up to my TV and whenever I need to control it from my laptop (getting and interacting with the same screen on my laptop that I see on my TV) I have been using VNC. It is quite slow. Would this work better for that use case or is it really intended for something different? (And if the latter are there better solutions than VNC for what I want to do?)

Is there a reason to use this over something like Sunshine/Moonlight?
