• 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

• 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?

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

• 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?)

• Menu css looks a bit dodgy with the notification at the top:

• How does this work on a technical level?

  Does it framebuffer grab the current session and inject input events?

• 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.
