Please have a look at the warnings in the comments:
Itsfoss is blogspam and often have many mistakes and wrong info. People should really stop posting links from them.
Itsfoss is indeed written by ChatGPT I think
It’s older than ChatGPT, but maybe this is true for their newer articles.
I also feel HowToGeek used to be great, now it’s just affiliations and misinformation. Shame.
Wasn’t there some controversy about this that it wasn’t entirely open-source?
Binary blobs i thought
I self-host my own rustdesk server and it’s awesome. It just works flawlessly.
Yeah it’s pretty awesome. My only gripe with it is the fact that it is super annoying when you want to send a client with your self-hosted urls to a customer.
You can either awkardly add it to the filename or you need to fork the client and build it yourself. Kind of sucks that the easier custom client function is stuck behind their subscription.
authentication is also stuck behind their subscription. for random customers to be able to use your servers, you also have to let everyone else on the internet use it.
Yeah I had my eye on this a few months back when I was looking for a FOSS windows Remote Desktop alternative. Between the security issues, and generally struggle to get it working well, I eventually went to a sunshine/moonlight combo for shockingly high performance screen sharing that can even handle basic gaming if need be.
I tried it and it’s works exactly like Anydesk, except it’s 5 times slower than Anydesk at least that’s on their server, I know I can host it myself but I don’t think I have the skill to set it up
I always neglected it because of its name. I thought it’s something for rust…
I guess it’s just written in Rust.
I’ve been using MeshCentral lately, it does the job but the UI leaves something to be desired.
Have you tried changing the default view from Columns to List? IMO it makes the UI much better. Then you can add in a more details about each PC on the main view. Make is very useful if you have a lot of computers you are managing.
You can also switch from the left bar interface to top bar interface. That looks better to me. Also dark mode.
I have changed up the view and don’t get me wrong, it’s more than usable it’s just not pretty.
I was hesitant to open this post because I already know about rustdesk, but eventually I did to see the community’s opinion on it. I’m so glad that I did because this is terrible!
I think more people should hear about all of this
ITT: It’s sketchy and will possibly mess with your Wayland set up.
