Rustdesk: a open source remote desktop software (lemmy.zip)

About a year ago I introduced Rustdesk as an experiment. For those who don't know Rustdesk is a piece of software that allows remote access. You can use the public servers or you can use your own private server.

It has been a massive success and a game changer in my company. The biggest benefit to Rustdesk is that it allows you not only to share your screen but to connect to other peoples screens. That doesn't sound like much of a game changer but having a simple UI that can be taught to people that aren't tech savvy is very useful. It has powered collaboration internally.

I just thought I'd share my experiences.

Rustdesk has pretty good performance compared to VNC or RDP. Other than that I haven't done much in the way of testing.

Thank you :)

I've found that VNC can have some slowdowns, but it seems to be faster than the others I mentioned. I can't remember why I switched away from it now though.

It sounds like it's worth giving Rustdesk a try, so that might be my next project :)

For my personal setup I just set the server to 127.0.0.1 and I access it with ssh. I also use sunshine for gaming.
